Time to get writing

 #STC #testingclub #testing 

 The STC announced the call for submissions for the next edition of the magazine.

Did you miss the chance in the first edition?

Are you a budding Shakespeare, Orwell or Pratchett? Got something to say or tell a good story? If so, take the plunge and contribute to the next edition.

The peeps at STC (Rosie, Phil, Joel & Rob) won't bite and will give you good feedback on any proposal - provided you haven't ripped it off, of course :-0

I got involved with the first edition and was very pleased with the result. However, I left everything to the last minute - I had plenty of half-ideas (maybe half-baked) that needed a little more development but didn't give myself the time to do so.

Give yourself time to work on the idea, walk away, think about it and re-work it (if needed.) Let the idea mature (maybe like a good cheese), but remember that what you think is a great cheese (or idea) others might just think it stinks! If that happens, keep at it - maybe you're just an acquired taste :-)

So, if you have something to say, but aren't sure whether anyone will listen or be interested then I've got one piece of advice, "just do it!" 

Time to get writing...
