I was going to continue the Blogging Basics series today or post another Word Phile, but by chance I was at Helium (where I've been slacking badly, I have to admit). They have a couple of major opportunities running that I wanted to shout about to all you authors in need of some reputation or cash. Can't have you missing these!
The first is a joint venture with the Connecticut Post. Helium want people to join their debate over the question of control of parish finances. The article title can be found by going here. The top-rated article will be published in the Post itself, which will make a nice bit of publicity for whoever submits it!
Secondly, they have a new competition starting next Monday 16 March. This one's in conjunction with ResponsibilityProject.com and promises seven prizes: $100 for first place, $50 for second and five $25 awards for equal-third placers. The good thing about this one is that the fifteen titles open for submission will all be about everyday moral choices - something pretty much all of us can write to, instead of all those specialist legal things their Marketplace has!
So, get your writing muscles flexed and ready. Put the brain in gear, snap on your seatbelt and zoom over there right now!

I didn't get so far as to see what the acual comp was for Responsibility project...But I thought it was VERY interesting that in the 4 (or was it 5?) questions, by far the largest percentage response was from people saying 'yes' to reporting someone else doing something wrong.
