Hello, back again. As of late, I've been promoting my writing and blogs online. Found several unique, interesting sites which have 'add a link' sections. This is good for everyone. Not only does it help writers, but informs readers of their work, talents, and servies. Exchanging links are fun too. Gives exposure to both parties involved. I'm going to try to work more with partnering with other writing websites for this blog. I'd like to reach markets(audiences) for short stories more or less. That's the area I've done my most extensive work in fiction.

If still interested in writing contests be sure to check out: http://www.fundsforwriters.com.
There are many active and available to enter. I've entered a joke contest for Readers Digest. (http:www.rd.com) The winner receives a trip a paid trip to New York city to perform their joke live at one of premier comedy clubs. Your interests can lead you to many exciting opportunities. I'm hoping to find more outlets to promote my sports blog (http://www.sportspoints.blogspot.com) and find forums or online arenas to possibly start my own weekly column on large-scale, prominent site. Maybe that will open up doors to a few freelance jobs. Until next time, keep the writing spirit alive!
