Are you a contest enterer, too?

(What's this?) What is the EasyEdit button? This website gets better when people like you add to it. Just click the EasyEdit button to start. (help)
Prizewinner of Defiance, OhioI like to enter contests. Usually book related ones. I even won one once which resulted in a sweet trip for two to San Francisco and the chance to meet some private investigators and the author of one of my favorite series. In another, I was one of ten finalists who got a lovely book and a fancy wine opener for the consolation prize. Contest enterers are delusional, incredibly optimistic and persistent.

So. Have you entered these contests?
