This is a big day, people. Big for me, at least. I’ve been thinking of this project (cooking it up, deliberating the pros and cons, anticipating feedback – good and negative) for almost a year now. Submissions will be open up until 31st December, so there will be a far bit of time for me to explain its genesis and why I’ve decided to do it.

Not today, though. Today I’m far too full of nervous adrenaline to be properly coherent and intelligent.

You know how I know? Because this post has taken fifteen minutes to compose thanks to my trembling fingers.

I know a lot of you will be interested in this from an analytical perspective. Perhaps even a critical one.

But there are some of you, bloggers who thus far haven’t dared considered yourselves as ‘writers’ because you haven’t even admitted to yourselves yet that that’s what you are or want to be.

And guess what?
