A Pulitzer prize is my goal--has anyone here done it?

Anyone want one besides me?

Alice, it is not as far fetched as it seems. Read this artical about a debut novelist winning the top prize of a prestigious Irish competition. The Pulitzer forms and instructions are downloadable and if your book meets the criteria, you enter.

DT,

Thank you. Are you entering your book?

No, I would not enter my current book, but I am working on somewhat of a throwback, an epic poem.

A book on message boards would be different--could be funny.

I actually started a project on that and bailed out. It was getting cumbersome and the topics lose their currency quickly.
