Before I get caught up with actually writing my novel (for a change) when NaNoWriMo starts on Tuesday, Ist November, I thought I'd mention these competitions. Plenty of encouragement to get the creative juices flowing!

Thank you Rosemary. This is very helpful. I think I have some stories waiting for a home and I shall investigate all of these!
So you've decided! :-) Good luck with NaNo and have a great and productive month. :-)
Hi Joanna - hope you might find a home with one of these!
Hi K.C. - finally, yes. You must have missed my previous post when I listed all the novels needing to be finished! It's no wonder I need a reason to focus for at least a month.
Good luck with NaNo!
I'm beginning to realise what I've signed up for with NaNo!
Thanks, Patsy - not sure if it's going to work or not but at least I'll try and get back into good writing habits (or any writing habit)!
Myra - I don't think I've even quite realised yet!
Thanks for the info, Rosemary. Yes, NaNo could be a challenge!
Thanks for the competition info, Rosemary. And good luck with Nano.
You're welcome, Joan - absolutely!
Thanks, Carol!
