Hey, that’s awesome, Michael! If the challenge made you consider writing, maybe it’s accomplishing its goal.

But, if you don’t mind me asking, was it the huge pot (50,000 dollars) for the first prize that convinced you? Would 5000 dollars for the first price have been too little to entice you? If the remaining 45,000 dollars would have been distributed among the next 45 winners (1000 dollars for each), wouldn’t that have motivated you even more to participate? After all, you would have had a much bigger chance to win a nice price.

I’m genuinely curious.
