I write nonsensical things like I do posting in the internet. I never joined any writing contests so far.
And I'll join just for giggles sake.
I know I won't win any prize. Or even disqualify it for any reason, very likely being off-theme. 
Maybe I will just to confuse anyone who has the misfortune to read it.

Nieboszczyk is a bit obsolete to boot and trup is very colloquial - if for example someone mentioned something about a trup while referring to the dead body of your family member, you, being Polish, would feel offended a bit then and say sarcastically that it's good at least that this person didn't refer to the body of your relative as a carcass. Because the most proper term for it is zwłoki - a corpse

I've just entered a legend writing contest 
It is ready as of now but I only need to record it - how great I have a microphone I got as a Christmas present the previous year And I am going to enter a poetry writing contest tomorow as well - I already have written a short poem about Muszyna - such a Polish town (I was there once as a teen).

P.S. I sent my bizarro scary text about an angel of death to some other writing contest today

I'm going to enter also my postapo short story - there is another contest like that; if it is going to be appreciated by the organizers, it will be published in a real book

What sort of writing contest are you going to enter, CockneyRebel?
A cadaver is a dead body that has been donated for studying for science and/or medical purposes. The word doesn't usually come up in everyday conversation. Like, "Hey, did you hear the medical students at the local college got a new shipment of cadavers for dissection?" *sips coffee*
Of course, there is some controversy, mostly about how "moral" it is to be studying a body or how family members feel about their deceased loved one being cut up and stuff.

The results of the postapo story contest will be given at the end of the month I can't wait to see them And the results of another writing contest will be given next month.

In the next 10 days, I'll know if I won something in one of the writing contests I have entered - I'd love to see my short story published in a book

I was just told that EVERYBODY who has entered, has also won - the question is whether my story is going to get published in a book .

Did you ever win anything in such a contest? What was it? Over the course of the last few years, I entered at least like a dozen or so such contests and I managed to win several times - the best thing I have ever managed to win for my work was an e-book reader I love to use I entered one such a contest two days ago and tomorrow (as it's late evening here in Poland now) I'll enter a fairy tale writing contest If my stories turn out to be the best, they will get published in real books, can you imagine? And this children's story will get recorded in an audiobook - if only it is going to be the best story, of course. One of my children's stories was once even read by me on the Internet radio in January this year.My mom, when I told her I was going to enter the writing contest (the fairy tale story), said that I shouldn't write a fairy tale about cadavers
I asked why she thought I could ever write a fairy tale about corpses to which she replied it would be something very in my style But no, it is going to be a cheerful story - although I DO admit now that it would be great to write such a cute story about a little vampire I wanted to a few months ago but everything I wrote sounded terrible, I got scared and didn’t want to submit something I didn’t like
