Hello everyone,

The 1st Semi-annual writing competition has officially closed and the judging is underway.  Thanks to everyone who took part and good luck.  The winners will be announced on Jan 31st by email and on the blog writingblog.ca.  
Meantime, there is another exciting, free competition for the poets among you.  Challenge: to write a romantic, or humorous Valentine’s poem and send it to me by Jan 29th for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate and have your poem published on writingblog.ca  I hope that you will all consider joining in the fun.
Thanks for this week’s contributions for my blog, to Leslie Harris, Peter Pontsa, Teri-Lyn Smethurst and Angie Rose-Carnegie.  Please take a look at writingblog.ca/story-of-the-week/
