I have spent much of the last 24 hours trawling the Internet…….nooooo, I wasn’t procrastinating? (or was I? Lol). I was researching all the short story comps and possible places to submit work to.
A huge thanks to the Womag Writers Blog and Helen Yendall who have both been a wealth of information π
I have discovered there are 18 competitions ending in March. I’ve got myself a folder. Done some ‘calendar’ type sheets and now, I’m ready to go LMAO π
Now, if I stop eating, don’t shower, survive on cat naps (no actual sleeping) and only leave the dining room table for loo breaks and the occasional cup of coffee I might, just, be able to enter them all *snigger*
Seriously, I can enter at least a couple can’t I?
Actually…..I managed to enter 1 last night. The Writers Bureau have a monthly comp and this months was “50 Word Love Story” I can’t post my entry on here, and rest assured, I will be screaming from the rooftops if it actually gets anywhere lol π
Yesterday’s prompt about the crosswind inspired a story about a guy losing his toupee (thanks Danny) and a romance is about to blossom between Mr Toupee and the woman who tried to rescue it. What a sweet story to tell the grand children “I met your grandad as I was trying to rescue his toupee from the wheels of a bus” lol. Today’s prompt is it was a daydream which sounds like great fun. I love daydreaming π
Hi Vikki
You should also try looking on Patsy Collins’ blog http://patsy-collins.blogspot.com
where she posts details of competitions and particularly the ones that are free to enter. Good luck with your work and thanks for taking the time to ‘like’ my blog last week.
All the best

Thanks hon, I already follow Patsy, but, I have to admit, I don’t often read the Blogspot blogs I’m subscribed to (not enough hours in the day lol). Will go over now and have a look though π
You are very welcome hon, and vice versa π
