Questions

Most of my poetry is thoughtful, emotional, or dark, so please consider this. I’m having a very hard time finding any magazine or ezine that pays for poetry. All of your help would be appreciated!
A note I would like to add–I do not plan on making a living by selling poetry (I know for a fact that it will never do any good if I try that). I simply have some poetry I would like to publish and be paid for my efforts. I also understand it will take time.

I’ve been writing for 4 years now and I’ve always been pushed to join writing competitions. I never thought I was ready but I want to try at it now! The problem is I’m having a hard time finding competitions that aren’t outdated or have an entrance fee.

Does anyone know any Short Story or Fiction contests for the month of April or May that have no entrance fee and is open to all ages? Even sites that hold contests are welcomed to be shared. Thanks!

I’ve been working on a story lately and there’s an aspect of the writing I’m really having a hard time with, so I’m wondering if any fellow creative writers have good advice. Do you ever come across specific scenes or pieces of a story that you think are necessary plot-wise but that don’t really interest you to write? How do you get yourself through these boring parts and write them anyway, and how do you prevent them from being boring to a reader?
