AWAI Writing Challenge:
What Does "The Writer's Life"
Mean to You in 2010?

If you're already living it … tell us how your life has changed since becoming a copywriter … your new daily routine (or lack of routine) … the new freedom you enjoy to travel or work on your favorite hobby … the memories created from being able to do more with your kids … the time saved by not having to commute to an office every day … how it feels to not have to answer to a boss … and so on. We want to hear it all!

If you're not quite there yet … tell us what your hopes and dreams are … really visualize what it will be like to achieve your copywriting goals in 2010 … how your life will be improved for the better. Paint a picture of exactly what living "the writer's life" will mean to you.

Send your 1,000-word (or less) essay to me at kyeakle@awaionline.com with "The Writer's Life 2010" in the subject line. If you send your submission as an attachment, please include your first and last name on the essay … not just the cover note.

One winner will be selected from all entries received. If it's you, you'll receive a $100 American Express gift card and have your essay published on the AWAI website.

All entrants will be recognized and will be sent a special gift for participating.

Deadline: Jan. 24, 2010

Look for the winning entry in the Jan. 28th issue of Inside AWAI.
