Does anyone ever ..

Does anyone ever just find themselves on here but not entering comps?
I seem to just be reading the IWIWIW and the CCC, for the past week or so I've found that there are soooo many comps at the mo that I'm finding it slightly daunting and just going through a phase of only entering 2-3 at a time.
I know it'll affect my chances but I'm not really bothered as I do only enter for fun. It's just sometimes I'll miss a day and catching up is so hard that I just end up not bothering.
I'm not moaning before anyone jumps on that. Just my sons gone for his nap and I fancy a little chitchat lol

I find myself reading the boards when I should really be entering, then kicking myself that I've not entered any because the spare time I had I was reading various MSE boards (not just competition ones). Like now for instance!! I should really get up to date before I start reading!!0

Me!
Have barely entered anything since Friday, I come on thinking I'll go through them, but end up reading IWIWIW or Compers Chat instead (like now). :rotfl:Comping since Feb 2012.

Same here, sometimes someone will post such a fascinating thread somewhere else that I become engrossed!0 -
I think its great that you're having so much fun with it at the moment. I think sometimes it can become a chore if you enter hundreds a day. Hope you have some great wins

When I first discovered comping a few months ago, I was just going through other sites but using this forum to give me motivation and read about fellow compers wins and then I discovered that people post comps! I still spend a lot of time reading IWIWIW and CCC it's nice to be part of a community

Wishing you good luck0 -
I find it can be a bit daunting entering comp after comp and to tell you the truth I get bored after a bit so I read IWIWIW to give me some motivation and the Compers Board for some fun and info. Its amazing but I'm still finding out new stuff I didn't know about and the hints and tips that people give are great.
I also know if I'm having a problem with a comp or entering the mag dailies for instance I can come in here and usually find its not just me so gives me a great feeling know I am part of some a nice community.
Which reminds me I've been so busy reading threads and posting replies I haven't entered any comps today :eek:
Good luck everyoneGrowing old is unavoidable. However, growing up is still optional.0
