WRITE or wrong it doesn't matter... I will always be me

To celebrate my brand new *sparkling* blog I wanted to make my first post spectacular. Something that would reel in all of the amazing writers out there. And let's be honest, I need to find a clever way to kick start my 'following list'. (Seriously, don't be afraid to go the left of my blog and become a member of my crew.) But as I sat in front of my laptop trying to come up with a topic that would get the attention I crave I came up with...nothing. That's right, nothing. The only thing that I am able to focus on is the contest I entered this morning and the contest I need to prepare for that opens up tomorrow.

I found my home with the online writing community through all of the contests that were being held. Entering into the many contests is exhilarating, but most of all I have met my fantabulous CP's, betas, and so many writers I look up to through them. Every writer out there who has answered a question for me, checked my grammar, and taken even a millisecond out of their day to help me be better has been monumental in my journey as a writer. But they would have never existed in my world if it were not for contests.

So, I have rummaged through my twitter to find the current and upcoming contests, as well as some cool giveaways for everyone to reference. Check them out, don't be afraid to submit your work, and meet as many great writers as you can!

OPEN NOW!!!! AKA drop what you are doing and get your submissions in.
