Hello lovely ladies and kind gents.
I found it incredible that 124 stories were combed through to create such a small list in only about one day. What a grand effort. I was assuming it would be at least a week of effor. Great job, Nic.
I'll have a cuppa java, please. It's going to be a hot day so I need to drink my coffee early.
I started on the 1st after it had closed off, so it was more like an easy 2 days.
Even at such few words, you still have to interpret the meaning of the story, let it sit with you for a bit, maybe read it again, write some comments into a spreadsheet, and then think of a number between 1-100 where you think it might sit in the competition.
The average scores act as a guide, but are mostly meaningless when they are all nearly 5. In fact scoring here and most places is largely meaningless. But that's another topic altogether!
Then once the whole process is done, you have to re-read the top section in case a few nagging doubts are in your mind about certain entries.
It's quite the juggling act.
The dartboard technique is so much easier!
