  1. I like quote number one the best. I think lately with all of the contest hype, I've been blowing that issue up in my mind and over-analyzing it to death. While winning one, can give a person a little advantage, contests really don't tell the whole story about a person's writing ability. I think a lot of people who didn't final are EXCELLENT writers too and placing too much stock in a contest can lead to discouragement.
