Contest Entries II

In a previous entry I wrote about the importance of entering contests to sharpen your writing and to earn a chance at winning a prize, or at least seeing your name in print.
This week was another milestone for me. I entered two Haiku to Byline's Magazine at the end of January 2005, and was pleasantly surprised to see that I won an Honorable Mention for this contest.
The more writing that you produce and submit increases the chance of your work being recognized and published. You want to have as many Byline's as possible so when an agent or publisher is looking for your Bio and CV (Curriculum Vitae), you can show some writing credentials!
