BPAY SHORT AND SWEET
There's a prize of $3000 for writing a short story, love poem, film synopsis, or recipe. Each are to be a maximum of 120 characters - not words, but characters. I think it would be great if members entered the competition after the exercises - I know I could do with $3000! http://www.bpayshortandsweet.com.au/
