Tomorrow (Saturday) I go into competition.

Writing against the clock. I get sent a topic and word count, and then have 36 hours to provide a story, the best receiving a prize of £50, and two runners up prizes of £25.

I'm looking forward to it, but really, it's fallen during a difficult weekend. My wife is working in the morning, and in the evening on Saturday, so I'll only have the middle of the day to do it, during which time Man Utd play Newcastle, a match I didn't really want to miss.

On Monday it's my brothers birthday, and I have to get him a present at some point, so this will put a dent in Sunday, and I'll have to give the FA Cup semi's a miss too.

I'll probably end up having to work through Saturday night to get it right.

Once the competition is over, I might just post it here for you to read. Perhaps I'll put it online during the day, and ask for suggestions!

Can't wait for the topic now though, and to get started. Just twenty two hours and twenty five minutes...

Well first off, good luck.

Secondly it will be a 2-2 draw, exciting game but just catch the highlights on "The Premiership". I have to do that as I don't have sky.

It's fallen awkwardly for me too. I'll be leaving my house at about five on sunday and not returning until after the deadline. And my friend's coming round before then as well. Plus I usually get up really late on Saturdays, and my Grandad is coming round this Saturday. I'll have about an hour to write it...

Ummm, Meka, I think you may have entered the Battle of the Bards, as that's the only competition I could see on the site, unless I'm just being really blind...

How did you go about entering that? I would be interested in doing something like that as I am a budding writer. Go me!
