Motivation is a mighty interesting thing, and writing contests really illustrate the point.
Will you write for food? A t-shirt? An Amazon gift card? OK. Just remember to read the rules, terms and conditions carefully (if for no other reason than some poor writer labored over them) and if the contest charges an entry fee, read them again. Carefully.
Still rarin' to go? Here, a few contests underway now:
Grate Righter, Bad Speler Contest (No I'm not kidding! This is my favorite!)
