Fancy a new car, or an expensive foreign holiday? In these tough economic times such indulgences can seem like a distant pipe dream, but if you subscribe to firstwriter.com between April 20 and May 29, 2009, you could be in with a chance of winning £10,000 – that's over $14,000 US dollars!
A total of £60,000 – that's more than $85,000 – will be given away over the course of the promotion – that's £10,000 (or over $14,000) every week. One lucky winner will be drawn at random each week from all the people who have used PayPal to make a payment that week, giving you up to six chances to get your hands on the big prize!
All you have to do to be entered into the draw is make a payment via PayPal in one or more of the weeks in which the promotion is running. You can do this by subscribing to firstwriter.com at www.firstwriter.com/subscribe and selecting the PayPal option for payment. Once you've made payment, PayPal will automatically enter you into the draw for that week, and then let you know if you're a winner!
Have you protected your Copyright? Copyright piracy is estimated to cost millions annually. Before sending your work to agents, publishers, or contests, make sure you take out copyright protection. Click here for more information.
But don't worry if you're already a paying subscriber – all you need to do in order to be entered is make a payment via PayPal, so you could still get your chance of winning just by making a small donation to firstwriter.com, for any amount over £1 / $1.50. Just go to www.firstwriter.com/payments and use the PayPal payment system to make a payment (please describe it in the "Service Description" box as "Donation") and you'll still be entered in the draw! (Please don't send payments of less than £1 or $1.50, however, as these will cost more to process than their value.)
Once you've subscribed, you can make sure you're entered into each of the six draws by making a small donation every week of the promotion. Make sure you set up reminders on your computer or cell phone to remind you to come back each week to make sure you don't miss out!
Joining firstwriter.com has always been the best first step towards making your writing dreams a reality, and now you might get not just access to the extensive searchable databases of literary agents, book publishers, magazines and writing contests that you need to launch your writing career, but also thousands in cash, making this the perfect time to join!

The importance of observation
By Marcella Simmons
A writer needs to be observant of different types of people, places and things like it were a sixth sense. While everyone else is talking and chatting at the party, you need to be observing the … elderly lady who keeps touching the younger man sitting at the side of the room just within eyesight. The man keeps pushing her hand away but she slowly slides it up and down between his thighs – did he find it embarrassing? Why didn't he get up and walk away? Why is she touching him – she must be twice his age? He looks around to see if anyone is watching, especially his wife who is across the room talking to another woman. He stands up, excuses himself and walked away. The lady with the roaming hands, upset that he was cool with her, scoffs hastily off to the bar. [To read the full interview, click here]

In 2005, Simmons had her first book of poetry published, and is working on several book projects at this time. She continues to write a regular weekly column for a local newspaper in her hometown, as well as many other writing projects. "Writing is a way of life for me," she says.
