I am going to try to "get a feel for the competition," and READ at least a few chapters, this year. (psh, I write for this competition because it gives me a deadline to work against, not to win it, so I don't expect anyone to feel like a rival, right?)
I've got a ton of "under 10 chapters" in the first search (and via my notifications), enough so that I could read one a day (and fuss myself for any day I miss), but I'm just impressed by those who are close to done already. That's more discipline than I have in me.
