Two weeks in: What I'm seeing in the contest


M.E. Wright

February 16th

Notes from the Accidental Dystopian Author


The contest has been open for two weeks, and the entries are coming in.

I'm seeing characters who understand power. Characters who've learned to navigate systems that weren't built for them. Characters who know exactly what's at stake when someone like Mackenzie tries to leave.

If you've been thinking about entering but haven't yet, there's still time. The contest runs through March 3. That's just over two weeks left to shape someone who'll exist in Mackenzie's world.

What kind of character are you thinking about?

Someone with power who shapes the systems Mackenzie navigates? Someone from her professional world who notices what she's really doing? Someone she encounters during her journey who changes everything?

The choice is yours.

If you're still getting a feel for Mackenzie's world, these posts will help:

February 3: Name a Character in Exit Strategy The full contest details and what I'm looking for in a character submission.

February 10: Meet Mackenzie: Then and Now Who she was before the system closed in. Who she became when she realized staying meant surrender.

These aren't required reading for the contest. But they'll give you a deeper sense of the world you're stepping into.

Thank you for being here. For engaging. For creating alongside me.

More soon.
