I have a writing contest on my website which will end on December 31, 2009. I am looking for essays regarding women's views and/or experiences pertaining to marriage. Please check it out at tohaveorhavenot.com.

I am always interested in entering contests myself, but I didn't see anything recently posted.

Thanks,jawjaw. I appreciate the support. I'm new to all this and still trying to find my away around the site so my response times are not always that quick.

Do not worry about that. You just come on in and hang around as long as you like....and respond when you can. One thing I will say is please do not think members here are not responsive if you don't get a lot of replies.

Sometimes the gals are away on vacation, some have full time jobs, others have obligations that take them away from the boards, on and off...but it doesn't mean that they don't READ everything.

So not to worry if you don't see a lot of replies...we get around to reading and responding when we can.

Again, WELCOME!

Went to the site freelancegal and of all the titles my essay could encompass about four of them. Lived long, lived hard, and I have the stories to prove it. But I will make a choice and see what happens. Glad to have you aboard.

I appreciate the support and welcome you ladies have given me. I hope you will feel comfortable sharing your views. So far, one thing I see loud and clear from many contributors is how children changed their marriages. Lots of men who love their children, also felt extremely jealous of the attention the kids got because they took the attention away from themselves.

I have extended the deadline for my writing contest to December 31, 2009. I speak with lots of women who have loads to say, but for some reason won't submit their stories on the website.

Freelancegal, You might suggest they enter their stories under a ficticious name. That way they can be as candid as they like without fear someone might see it and sue them. That and a disclaimer should do the trick.

Thanks for the tip, chatty lady. I must say that I have not been getting many submissions, so perhaps that will work.

Hi Freelancegal and welcome to this sight. I like the concept of your book. I will try to find time to write an essay, but I cannot promise anything.

Thanks, Anno. Women have so much to say on marriage, but yet they seem reluctant to put it into print. I'm sure some of it is due to lack of time, but I also think that some women may be afraid to actually put down in writing what they really feel.

I hope you can find time to do it. Thanks again.
