There’s a new magazine starting up called Hammett Magazine that publishes Noir Detective Fiction. It only pays $10 or a copy for a story.

I am proposing a betting pool to make writing a little more interesting.

I say let’s each write a story. It doesn’t take long to put together a 4000 word story.

Let’s make it a little more interesting. I say we each put in $20 and the each person accepted gets a share of the pot. Best case is that I win everyone else’s money. Worst case, Poker Jim gets it all.

The deadline is November.

Leave a comment if you are interested. I don’t know who we will get to hold the pot, but I’ve got $20 bucks just waiting to go.
