I knew about fiction writers never winning, but I think this might be the year that breaks that trend. A lot of people are writing fiction, as your stats indicate. I'm interested to see if it happens :)

I have written both, starting out with personal entries, and then moving solidly into fiction. It's not that I dislike writing about myself/my life, I just feel like I don't have much that's interesting to share, especially compared to some others in the competition. Plus, fiction is more fun me. :) But I have been thinking--if I survive this week--about doing a personal entry for the next topic just to do something different.
