3-Day Novel News	March 30, 2009
Are you ready for the 32nd Annual International 3-Day Novel Contest? Registration is open now! For more than three decades, this notorious literary marathon has driven writers everywhere to strive to create a masterwork of fiction in a single weekend. How many coffee-stained pages and great ideas will this year's contest produce? And what will you think up under pressure? Rules and registration information at www.3daynovel.com. And while you're at our website... You may notice that something's a little different. We're all "Web 2.0" now, with a fancy new look and a Wordpress back-end that has made our lives here at 3-Day HQ much easier. We also have new features for you, like our writing resources page and our comment-ready news and events posts. Have a look now, and let us know what you think! New 3-Day Flickr pool Several of our 3-Day entrants—or members of their beleaguered families—have photodocumented their crazed weekend experience. (One such photo essay even made its way to the pages of Geist magazine.) We've made a place to gather these photos on Flickr, so if you have 3-Day related photos to show, join the group and add them to the pool! Find the contest's Flickr pool here. (There's also a link off our fancy new website.) Fresh chat thread for entrants We've started a new chat thread on Abebooks.com for those who have registered or plan to register for this year's contest. Find the link in the "Social" box in the sidebar at www.3daynovel.com. Keeping in touch It's a long time between 3-Day Novel Contests, so we're planning on making this newsletter a regular habit. If once a year is enough for you, you can unsubscribe using the links below. Otherwise, we'll be in touch again every few weeks with news about the contest, statistics on who's entering and from where, items of interest to writers, calls for submissions for sister organizations, and success stories from contest entrants. On that note, are you a 3-Day survivor who has published work that came out of the contest? Let us know so we can add it to our next newsletter! Email us anytime at info@3daynovel.com.
