Contests for Writers

I'm sitting here this morning sipping my coffee and realizing that the snow may be keeping all of us writers close to home. So let's, at least, get something done. Check out these contests and consider writing something out of your genre. If you always stick to horror, write some poetry. It's a great way to stretch your abilities and your mind. Also - I would love to hear your comments about success with contests, markets or jobs and if you have a blog, website or even Facebook page - let me know and I will link to your site.

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise.  The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.  ~Sylvia Plath

Time to Write

Well the Christmas Holiday and New Year's Eve are officially behind us. The New Year is not generally something that I consider vastly important, but for those of you who take this time to set goals and instigate change for the upcoming year, consider starting off 2011 with a round of submissions. Dig out those old short stories and get your red pens ready because I've compiled a list of markets for every writer from poet to horror master. I will be doing the same and I wish you all a bottomless spring of motivation and creativity in 2011.
