Dispatches | October 06, 2018

We’ve extended the deadline to October 15, 2018, meaning that you have just under 10 days to submit!

So, what can you do in 10 days? A lot, it turns out.

That got us thinking: what could we do with 10 days (if we weren’t reading for our next winners)? If we walked out of our offices right now, we could end up in New Orleans in 10 days (we’d only have to ford a few rivers). We could whip up a fresh batch of kombucha to drink all to ourselves. While that was steeping, we could learn how to lose Matthew McConaughey over something called a love fern. You could count to 10 very slowly in 10 days, we could come up with 10 dishes we’ve never prepared, or 10 jack-o-lantern designs. We could probably draw up plans for that fireplace and chimney we’ve always dreamed of having at the TMR offices in 10 days, if we put our minds to it. Maybe we’d just sleep a lot. Hibernate, even.

We won’t have time to do any of that, of course, because we’ll be busy carefully reading contest entries. But you’ve still got time—10 days—to make sure that we get to read your piece, too.
