It is no secret that I am passionate about writing stories, I love creating worlds and characters across a wide variety of genres, however I always struggle to motivate myself to write any more than the odd page or two. A way to keep myself motivated to write, provided I have the time.

The Bedford Writing competition is an ideal competition for working over summer. The deadline is the 30th of september 2014 and has a word limit of 3000 words, a word count I often find myself writing to with my stories.

The Inktears flash fiction contest has a deadline of 31st July, and a word limit of 500 words. I feel it would be an interesting challenge to attempt a short story of only 500 words as there is very little you can tell in a short space. The story would then have to be a sudden event that can engage the reader.
There are several other writing competitions that can be found at the booktrust link above, however the two I have listed here are ideal for me to get into writing and entering competitions.
