I'm reading Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, and he says that our constant thoughts inhibit creativity. It's hard for the creative ideas to get through the din of our thoughts. (This is my phrasing, not his.) I'm going to check out a few of the contests. :) Therese, great list!

Love him. Cath, this is my 3rd year coaching OM. Every year I reach February and swear I'm never doing it again. Never. But then something happens and I miraculously forget about the headaches and agree to keep going. It's like childbirth. Or maybe it really is the glue. ;) I found some more contest stuff, too. Check <a href="http://www.wow-womenonwriting.com/12-Funds4Writers.html" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">THIS list </a>out at WOW Women on Writing. And <a href="http://www.wow-womenonwriting.com/contest.php" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">HERE'S</a> a flash-fiction contest. Isn’t froggy cute? Love him.

That Odyssey of the Mind stuff will make anyone crazy. Not that you are...but the coach who volunteered the year my son did OM has never been quite right since :-) And B. That Kiss of Death website is almost as cool as the frog. (Thanks!) Finally C. I found one of those weird yet interesting contest websites today at uncliche.com where I can win 50 bucks for blogging on variously-changing topics. This month happens to be about annoying people. Which just happens to be PERFECT for me this week :-) A. That Odyssey of the Mind stuff will make anyone crazy.
