That would be excellent. I’d like to win that very much. I will have a look, thank you. 🙂

I am never sure about competitions. It is often difficult to get paid for your output, a competition seems more of a game of chance than anything else.

  I have done well in competitions in the past, but they’re very subjective.

    There is a lady in our writing group who has done very well with competitions, I think her top prize was a car. Her forte is short pieces limericks and slogans.
