No more lyrics contests! Bite your keyboard! As we discussed before, I like the effects of these types of contests. I think I will run this one every other month. And yes, keyword: 'let'. Thank you for your support with this contest.

I'm glad about that. I know "thinking outside the box" is a dated phrase, but it describes so well what is necessary for success in your Lyric contests.

You're welcome Julia. I am thinking I will run the Lyric series every other month since the Screwed series runs monthly. This will enable me to run some other contest themes with both series.
