Best American Short Stories List

Entries for the ABC Radio short story competition
are due at the end of next week.

I entered last year after discovering this competition a week before the deadline. I submitted "Vanilla", which was the only story I had that was complete and met the word count. It wasn't really appropriate (it's a bit raunchy), but it's funny and fresh. I'm not surprised that it wasn't chosen.

This year I started thinking about the competition two months in advance.
