I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

My crits are as worthless as my stories, back 2 back losses coming, probably.

Always remember the simple acronym ACAW(UTJ"TS"OPI): All Crits Are Worthwhile (Unless They're Just "This Sucks" Or Personal Insults)

 Yeah, sometimes it takes a draft to realize what you're doing. God knows I've submitted some TD stories and then realized I really hadn't found my story until the end and it could have used a second run. Good luck with the rewriting!

 Yeah, most of the crits will be from judges, but everyone's welcome to post crits. The only etiquette thing is to not post crits before judgment, just because that can make it kind of weird for judges, but if you have something to say, please say it! Going through and critting some stories can be a good exercise in thinking about writing, too, and teach you things for your own work.

 I suspect it's mostly because it's very hard to evaluate poetry against prose and this is predominantly a prose contest?
