Midlife Collage Writing Contest



How fun to discover writing contests in the blogosphere that are actually simple enough for me to understand and participate in.  In the last post I mentioned Write Club.  DL Hammon also runs another blog hop called Blog Blitz.  And you can sign on too.

What's Blog Blitz?   On a intermittent though semi-regular basis, someone is selected to received a visit from the rest of the group.  Since there are nearly 500 bloggers on the list, and growing, even if everyone can't participate, the blitzee still receives a spike in comments.  What a nice treat for a blogger.  Thanks DL for coming up with this great idea.  It's been a pleasure to participate in this wonderful blogging community of blitzers.  

Through the Blog Blitz I have been introduced some fabulous bloggers and other contests out there as well.  One of those I came across through this week's Blog Blitz of Kim Van Sickler who wrote a entry piece called Towpath Trail Adventures for the weekly Midlife Collage writing competition.  It's a free writing competition, but does offer monetary compensation to the winners.  You can check out the website for all the particulars.   What I like about it is how clear and easy to understand submissions are and how fun it is to read the entries even if you aren't ready to participate yourself.  I added both Kim and the Midlife Collage to my blog role because I found both worth a follow.
