Oh - this is a new concept for me, I had no idea such a thing existed - and I love the idea of it! Even the timing could work. Hmmm. Ok, tucking this in for consideration!

I had quite forgotten about the 3-day novel contest. I was interested taking this on a few years ago but didn’t follow through. It got me thinking and, after a mostly sleepless night, I have the outline for a story in mind. Chapters drafted in my mind - I’m sure that’s within the rules. The story is set locally and involves a recent local event. One character is Dolly, the world’s most neurotic border collie. Dolly the collie.
