About me: YOUR CHANCE TO BE PART OF A VERY SPECIAL LITERARY EVENT.
Just send in an account of the worst day of your life...
*************************************************************
Sometimes Life can be cruel. Sometimes, after waking up on the wrong side of the bed, Life decides to take its frustration out on some of its unfortunate constituent parts. On a good day it goes out hunting, hoping to exceed yesterday’s tally of broken souls. Life, it seems, was bullied at school and having now grown big enough to fend for itself isn’t going to take any more shit.
*************************************************************
Have you ever experienced a day which left you completely crushed? Have you ever felt that somebody “up there” has it in for you? Some days the best thing you can do is curl up into a ball and cry yourself to sleep...
*************************************************************
If this all sounds familiar then you've undoubtedly got a unique tale up your sleeve. We want to hear HORRIBLE THINGS. What was the worst day of your life? If you can think of an entertaining mishap, accident, tragedy or moment of embarrassment, you could see it used in the life of a very unfortunate character and published in the forthcoming ANNUS HORRIBILIS book.
*************************************************************
The best three-hundred and sixty-five worst days will be published in an exciting new book. It will take the form of a diary of a single fictional character who suffers a different person's worst day EVERY DAY for an entire year. If you have an entertaining story, then send it in and it might appear in this horrible annus.
*************************************************************
This project has become very popular, with submissions being sent from all over the world at a rate of three or four a day. This is your chance to be part of a high-profile literary venture which has captured the downtrodden hearts of the general public.

NOTE: This project is not connected to the book "Annus Horribilis" by Sam Jordison
Who I'd like to meet: SUBMISSION GUIDELINES:
************************************************************
If your horrible day in fact spans more than twenty-four hours, don't worry. If you've suffered a series of mishaps over the course of a week, it's better to tell it as it happened. If your story is good enough you will simply have seven of the three-hundred and sixty-five dedicated to you!
***********************************************************
By submitting your worst moment you are agreeing to it being used as a day in the life of the main character of the forthcoming Annus Horribilis book.
***********************************************************
Send your story either to this myspace profile as a message (not a comment), or to annus_horribilis@hotmail.co.uk
************************************************************
A decision regarding which submissions are to be used cannot be reached until all the worst days are in. Other factors (such as how they fit together factually and stylistically) need to be taken into account.
***********************************************************
When all the stories have been chosen, a list of names will appear here. Be patient in the meantime, however, as there will be a lot of entries to look through. A few exemplary stories will be posted here as blogs to serve as inspiration for others.

hey, thought i would let you know, erin and i saw vince cornett at target the other day.. he was with his wife and he was the same goofy guy as ever..
anyway, that thing we were talking about, idk, its just been bothering me and i didn't know if i was retarded or not so i thought i would ask. so tell me .. how is every little thing?
holy crap! remember those online paid survey things that i was taking to make extra cash? i just got my first check for $237!! and that was just for like a few hours of work! wanna go out this weekend? it's on me! you should do it, too. the money is so easy, then we can take a roadtrip in a few weeks.
Mistakes, mishaps, cock-ups - they just aren't given the recognition they deserve. They make life interesting and human beings (some more than others) have a genuine flair for them. So why does history only record the world's dull and worthy achievements? "Annus Horribilis" sets the record straight by celebrating good old-fashioned failures. From the man whose spectacular escape from prison was spoiled when he was eaten by a crocodile to the husband who choked to death on his own wife, via several exploding whales, numerous celebrity meltdowns and countless predictions that proved to be wholly inaccurate, "Annus Horribilis" proves once and for all, that there's no success like failure.
Of course, a horrible irony will come if the book falls on its own arse. Horrible because I'll have to remain poor. So please! Run out and buy it!
