I was looking through the Contests page looking for a particular one that a friend was entering and I came across your Writers Challenge. I was saddened to see that there were only two entries. That is a real shame. I am an avid reader and think the Journal Theme is a great one. I enjoy all types of genre, but autobiographies and biographies have always been a favorite of mine. Both journal entries were good, but I got deeper into the character of Joseph Dempsey. I would love to see it made into a book. It is wonderful story-telling via journal. It would be great to know who wrote it. I agree with the comment about allowing names on the entries since this is not going to be judged by votes, but by comments. Anyways, I feel I shouldn't even be commenting in your forum since I submit my artwork in the Mixed Mediums category, but I felt compelled to comment because of my love of reading and the excellent entry by #1. I hope you don't mind. Good luck with the Challenge. Sincerely, Susan
