 The new Sobol Award for novelists was officially announced on September
13, and it sounds like a writer's dream at first glance: all authors
who submit a manuscript must be both unpublished and unagented. "Hey!
That's me!" you say. Plus, the top prize is $100,000, with runner-up
awards of $25,000 and $10,000, along with $1,000 for seven other
entrants. And you get to attend an "Award Gala," probably with famous
writers! Famous people are always attending galas. But don't rush to
their website yet: since word of this award first got out in July, it's
become apparent that the devil may be in the details.

 Paul Abbott was 15 when he won his first award for a short story. The woman who ran his corner shop spotted a photograph of him holding his prize in the local Burnley paper. "She had teeth like a graveyard - black, crooked. She says, 'I've got an electric typewriter, and while we're working in the shop, the flat's free upstairs, you know?' Well, it fucking wasn't. She used to fuck the brains out of me to use her electric typewriter. Just when you're writing a good paragraph, you'd think, 'What's that?' And it's the smell of boiled ham on nylon. Coz after she'd finished cutting the ham, she'd go like that" - he wipes his hands down his front - "and you could smell ham on her nylon overall. You'd think," he shudders, giggling, "'Oh God, it's that bit now.' She'd be coming up behind me going, 'You know you want to.' It was like Uncle Monty! [From Withnail, And I] I'd just think, 'If I get it over with really quick, I can get on with this.' Oh God, she was gruesome. But I wouldn't," he grins, "go back to manual."

 Boy was that a familiar phrase back when I was wandering through the
desert of home-based employment options. I remember it most vividly
when I was in my custom-knitting phase. A complete yarn addict, I
figured there was no way my kids could possibly wear every sweater,
scarf, and pom-pom hat that flew off of my needles. Ever seeking a way
to boost my stash of increasingly expensive fibers, and never yet
dreaming someone could actually earn a living from writing, I decided
to tap my fingers to be my business partners.
