The rules are simple: Write a piece in any form you wish of no more than 250 words based on the topic announced Saturday night. The topic for the Fifth Annual SCWC*LA conference was "I" or "Eye."

It's all about the I
Yeah, I'm good from the hood
Yeah, I'm down at the Crowne and I'm weak from critique
Got my genre going on
Seeing agents for a fee
So you bitches need to know
The me
The literary mutha fucka that you can't see
Kept down by those bitches from the agency
My homies know I'm the Captain of Verbosity
Can't those bitches see what I see?
Better check me out more clearly 'cuz I ain't no fucking query!
Get my coachin' on the phone
And I'm rolling with my syntax
One more rewrite and I relax
Artistic colonoscopy
Put the wannabees on trial
Cuz y'all can't touch my style!
Sign me up and make some dough
Cuz I'm tired of the beating
From this mutha fucking meeting!
