But, yes, it helps that I can write stuff when I get the chance without thinking I should be updating my comps page.<br /><br />Competition organisers often don't make things easy, either, with details spread across several pages and weird rules that you wonder whether you should draw people's attention to or not.<br /><br />I recently discovered the Winning Words blog, which has a good set of links to competitions. You'll find it here: http://winningwords.org.uk/deadlines/Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-41667357768007410902011-07-06T19:00:33.636+01:002011-07-06T19:00:33.636+01:00I did notice its absence.

But it is time-consuming, even just the odd time I put up details of a few 'closing soon' prizes on my page it takes longer than I think it will to make sure I get the details of deadline, prizes, entry fees etc all correct. Then there's the maintenance that an actual page must take. <br /><br />I do wonder with people like Sally Quilford how they have the patience. A little flag up here and there, and any of those 'hot tips' you mention will do the trick. And yeah, more time for you(r writing)!Teresa Stensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027879292470220383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942294427695379658.post-23959082474361182682011-07-06T09:38:28.538+01:002011-07-06T09:38:28.538+01:00I can understand that maintaining such a page woul...I can understand that maintaining such a page would be very time consuming - hope you'll use the saving for more writing?Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.com
