Writing competitions

I have decided that as a writer I need to get my name out there as much as possible, so I need to start entering some competitions.

I haven’t done this before so I am totally new to the game. I’m excited to try some new styles of writing. Specifically I am looking at writing a short story with a twist and a dark story. Both of these styles are outside of my comfort zone, but i’m excited to give the challenge a go.

I am also in the process of writing my first novel. A Christmas romance fiction, name to be confirmed. I am finding the whole process to be engrossing and it helps hugely with keeping me centered and focussed.
