TGC Day

That's right it's Tips, Giveaways and Contest Day!
Every Tuesday I will post at least one tip that I have or have found this past week and post about it. I will also let you know if there are any contests and giveaways that I've heard about.....so here it goes.

Tips:
* C.Hope Clark is ALWAYS full of great information for writers.  This week her blog post, "Why I Want You to Blog" is to the brim with good advise on what to put in a post and what NOT to put in a post.   My favorite ideas was to keep a notebook of ideas for blogging AND having bullet points....keeping it short and sweet.
* Set specific goals. 2011 is just a few days away and setting goals help us accomplish tasks that we'd love to finish.  I'll talk more about this tomorrow as I'm working on some attainable writing goals for me.

Giveaways:
Sorry, I've not seen any this week.

Contests:
* Short story contest with The Bevel Summers Prize for the Short Story. Deadline is March 31, 2011. For more details click here.
* Women on Writing has opened their Winter 2011 Flash Fiction Contest. Deadline is February 28th, 2011. For more details click here.

Dear MaDonna,
Thank you kindly for all these interesting writing tips.
I checked out the C. Hope Clark posting and it certainly has some practical info for the serious blogger.
Of course, I'm not a serious blogger and like it that way:-)
Hope you have a lovely 2011 and happy writing.
Kind wishes, Gary

Thanks Gary! Happy New Year to you, too! I'm not sure how serious I am about blogging at this point. I liked her idea that blogging makes you write daily or almost daily.
Cheers!
