Here is a mixed bag of quotes on their very nature.
Choose one that best suits you.
And remember.
Deadline for our Wild Atlantic Writing Awards is this week. Midnight (Irish time) Thursday, December 10th to be exact.
With 1,000 euro in prize money at stake, can you write 500 words over the next four days?
Why not give it a go? You may regret it if you don’t.
