I also had to finish a long non-fiction piece of writing for a competition whose deadline is almost upon us - I often thought about giving up on it but was enjoying it too much in the end. Even if sinks into oblivion, I still have all the information in one place at my fingertips now.
Another self-imposed deadline was to get the November newsletter out before we reach the next month! It has now been sent on its way to subscribers and contains a few writing links and a little fun Christmas competition. If you would like to receive a copy (and don't already) then all you have to do is pop your email address into the little 'subscribe' box you'll find at the top right column of the blog. If you do receive it, please do enter the competition - it's not a big prize but is just meant as a thank you for being willing to read the newsletter each month.

I find competition deadlines very motivating.
Sometimes, deadlines are the only thing that make me finish a piece!
Best of luck, Rosemary, with your competition piece. I entered an essay competition a while ago and found it such an interesting change from writing fiction. I don't think my entry stands a chance, but it was fun to do and all entrants were given a book token, which was a nice reward for taking part. Fingers crossed!
Glad you had a wonderful time with the writers. We are a noisy bunch, aren't we? I think it's because we spend so much time alone writing, we just burst when we meet another like minded person. Good luck with the competition.
Thanks, Joanna - you too! I really enjoy writing non-fiction in between other work.
There's no stopping us, Nicola - thank you!
Good luck with your competition entry Rosemary! I shall go and sign up for your newsletter now.
Thank you, Anita! And that would be great.
