Celebrate National Novel Writing Month with Evan Marshall and Martha Jewett!

Hi there fellow insatiable readers!

Perhaps this month though, I should not only call you readers but also writers (as so many of you are aspiring to be) in honor of NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH and guess what?  To add to all the fun there is to have this month, I've caught wind of (thanks to FSB Associates) another great contest made especially for budding writers such as yourselves!  Curious?  You should be because this one carries a rather nifty little prize but also a fast approaching deadline.  Let's jump right into all the details shall we?
