Good theme,Ignite. Should be a lot of really varied entries.PM your entries to Jud, T4bsF.
Ok - I haven't got a story yet - but I'd like to give it a try!
It's all in the name of fun Flo, we set up a poll once all the entries are in and you vote for your favourite story but we have an unspoken rule where you don't vote for your own
Ok - I'll give it my best shot - author, I'm not - but if it's only for laughs, I don't mind.
You can browse previous contests and read a few stories there if you like. It can be as serious or as humourous as you want
Thanks - but I think if I see how good they are, it might put me off!
Send it as a private message to Jud - only she knows who has written which. I'm not an author either - and I won the last one! Give it a go. :)
I am bored tonight!!So I just whipped something up just now and sent it in. ^_^

Don't think just write ^_^ lol
This is my second attempt and I've never written anything in my life! and since it's anonymous, you don't need to tell anyone if, like me, only get a single vote. lol
we haven't...Was going to post a bump last night but thought "Nah.. it's only been a week. People will still be thinking about the Blurbs! ^_^
Hi Jud,I will make sure a blurb isn't on the go while you do the writing competition.
OK Blurb contest is nearly over.Can't wait to read the entries for this months writing contest
Yeah, same here. Out of interest to anybody, I seem to have tons of cash around the house these days - I'm tripping over piles of money. If anybody has any suggestions on what I should do with it, PM me with blurb contest in the title :)

You're quite pale for a Nigerian, Simon!
He's not been well!Must put my mind to this comp tomorrow - bit of spare time.
Simon has stolen my identity.
Will he start eating bacon then?
He's as big a bacon fiend as I am.

Still, that reminds me to have a look in the cupboard for old copy from the 1980s.

I'm not greedy RMF. If you donate a million to the group I will do some extra competitions.
A million words?? I thought it was only 200!!
How many entries do you have Jud?Only two days to go by my reckoning.
She's ignoring you Simon.Sensible young woman.
just entered. My wife wouldn't let me enter the August one! :-)
It's just no happening. Might have to do a Stuart and drink something alkoholhic!
My muse has let me down too, also been strapped for time. Must try harder.

I tried harder, and the muse returned, consequently my entry is in :D
Mine's in too. A restrained glass of Highland Park played a small but essential role.
No intention of taking part in this, but once again my head took over and wrote it while I was walking somewhere. So it's in, and good luck to all who sail in it. Now for my glass of Old Fettercairn, on the same theme!

And lazy figuring out by me - anyone would think I never order from Am - oops Amazon - latest buy - electric blanket (information there was no
need to share :-) )

I find the range of stuff sold by Amazon bewildering! Someone reviewed a book of mine and I went to see what else they'd reviewed, and there was my book alongside a dish and a spoon!
How very nursery rhyme, Lexie!

I'd give up at that point! No competition.
200 words max and theme is 'If only...'
DO NOT post entries in this thread or I'll borrow Elle's pointy stick
