Entering writing contests

Post Reply New Topic

I write nonsensical things like I do posting in the internet. I never joined any writing contests so far.

And I'll join just for giggles sake.
I know I won't win any prize. Or even disqualify it for any reason, very likely being off-theme.


Maybe I will just to confuse anyone who has the misfortune to read it.

Nieboszczyk is a bit obsolete to boot and trup is very colloquial - if for example someone mentioned something about a trup while referring to the dead body of your family member, you, being Polish, would feel offended a bit then and say sarcastically that it's good at least that this person didn't refer to the body of your relative as a carcass. Because the most proper term for it is zwłoki - a corpse

As for one of the writing contests I have entered (not the children's story one, the other one), there were just 14 people who also have entered it so there is some chance of winning for me.

I've just entered a legend writing contest It is ready as of now but I only need to record it - how great I have a microphone I got as a Christmas present the previous year And I am going to enter a poetry writing contest tomorow as well - I already have written a short poem about Muszyna - such a Polish town (I was there once as a teen).

P.S. I sent my bizarro scary text about an angel of death to some other writing contest today

I'm going to enter also my postapo short story - there is another contest like that; if it is going to be appreciated by the organizers, it will be published in a real book

In Polish there is no exact equivalent of this term then.

My children's story I sent, turned out to be my old story about a crayfish, I didn't write anything new.
