Jodie is a writing friend who has the BEST luck when it comes to winning stuff through writing contests. Half the battle, I'm convinced, is in finding those contests--ones where good writing really matters.
Here's one I just came across from Hamburger Helper. The coolest part of this contest is that it's not just for the writer: it's for the community that supports the writer. It's a monthly contest to fund community initiatives to deserving communities and continues through May of 2007. Stop over and visit.....
