Short story writers etc., let's try to get somewhere with our shit.

[Objective]

First off, here's a essay contest that might interest you:
15k£ to the first price and 1k£ pounds to the runner ups.
http://www.nottinghilleditions.com/essay-prize & 10£ to enter.
Submissions deadline: 1 August 2013.

I'm dead serious and I'll probably end last in this competition if I choose to enter and make a fool out of myself, but why not just go for it? I'll write some essays now and then and see if any of them is worth submitting at the end of june.

Beside of that, is there anyone in here that want to start a group of writers to feed stories or take a look at them every now and then? Read shit and motivate eachother to write actual stories?

Let's try to get some shit published within the next few years or something, wether it be online or not. If you aint doing audios and enjoy writing shit, this could be something for you. A lot of published writers didn't start to write shit until their mid thirties or forties. We are ahead if we want to get somewhere with it. I bet most of the people in the group, if not all, will at least publish a book or a collection of short stories before the age of 40 if we're dedicated enough to do this. If you're 18; before the age of 30. Maybe even sooner. I got some ideas on how to get there etc., but I'll wait with that to see if there's any actual interest.
