Oya read and vote

As I closed the door behind me, my friend rushed towards me with a big smile.
'At last', he whispered.
I glanced at the room and couldn't specifically disagree with him. I sighed. I was done for. A very beautiful lady-scrap that- tarty lady was in my room. I was a Christian and she was a Christian friend. She had to sleep at my place because her fiancee wanted sex that night, but she adamantly refused and ended up in my room since she left his room angrily, forgetting he lived in an estate where the occupants can't move in and out after 9pm, and she had forgotten that she travelled to Ibadan from Lagos.
So, that night I sat at my table and read my bible unending until the morning came. She delightedly left my place, telling me how much she was pleased to have kept her virginity. I was happy as I saw her off to the car park, carefully emphasising why it was so good to keep her stance as a Christian.
'I left something for you in the house.'
'What?'
'A Thank-You note.'
'Oh! A note? You shouldn't have bothered'.
'There's more to it'.
I knew her. There was always more to everything. So I rushed home to meet my door opened wide and my neighbour in my room. He had an amused look.
'What?' I said.
He pointed at a paper he was holding and laughed.
'Okobo oshi, from Clara'
I looked at my zip. Clara had just called me impotent. Till today Clara has refused to pick my call.

Man...30000 words is eye popping, novelistic award deserve something better than those rewards you have put up there. It won't be wrong either to go low on the words.

Remember when you show and tell invariably you use more words.

Bro. Quit whining and get to work. By the way, we all are upcoming writers. If you need a good deal go to Nanowrimo where you have to write 50000 words.

Guy I am sorry to say I am new to this idea of such long words within a short duration especially in a situation where one is not a full time writer. Everything that has to do with this competition is time, sorry if I sound pessimistic.

I just shared an opinion and I wonder what compensation could pay for such a task like this.

@Akposb
A 1;000 words a day is nothing.
Write first, then write right.
Put down your thoughts then go back and edit.. You will find out that 1,000 words us nothing.

But make the time for your 1,000 words.

We all type more than 1,000 words to people on our phones daily
