I have now officially started work of Biosector 01's core war contest. Even outside of Bionicle, I try and enter as many writing contests as I can find. So far, I've won an MP3 player, a gift certificate for a book store (which got lost in the mail), and $200 (which was supposed to have arrived about a month ago, can't really say much though considering the contest was held by the "McConnell Center" (named after Mitch McConnell, the senator for my state), a part of the university of Louisville). Although my record for winning writing contests is un-blemished, my record for actually receiving the prize money needs a touch-up .

Thankfully, should I win this contest, I don't have to muck about with the mail (or politicians) . That is, of course, if I win. I've seen some pretty good stories so far, and my best wishes go out to all the other authors out there. BZPower is a big place, and in that place there are quite a few excellent authors.

Now, having said that, I go off to my story. Wish me luck in penning the deaths of as many nameless characters as the word limit will allow!
