Your "Rules" is a wonderful write. "Love It" I try to stay positive in life/with contests. I guess it would be hard to be a judge. Everyone wants to win but there are few winners. We always Win when we Love what We Wrote. I am Honored when My Readers Love my Words or FAV it. "Good Luck" Looks like we both did this one... Have a blessed/fun day writing away.............

Most participants just started writing without reading what was required of them They deserve their N/A.
