December 2021 Theme of The Month

With November right around the corner, it's time to start preparing for chats about cooler weather, poisoning the highly anticipated Apple Pie so there will be no more chats about the weather, and of course... December's KP articles!

Many of you I'm sure are happy spending your time befriending turkeys this November, however, some of you I know are still on the hunt for Dragons.

And for those fearsome warriors, we've got just the article prompts for you.

December's article prompts tailored to the theme of...

Writing Short Stories

Short Stories are not only fun to write and read, but can drastically improve your writing skills.

 However, trying to write a satisfying, meaningful, and whole story with a beginning, middle, and end in such a small amount of words can be difficult. Many writers’ weaknesses become more evident when they try to write a short story, which can lead to a lot of discouragement. 

So for this month’s articles, we want to provide writers with practical and encouraging advice so they no longer feel lost when writing a short story. But instead, with a now clear path ahead of them, feel inspired, confident, and well-equipped to write a wonderful meaningful story!

Do I get entry points for submitting articles for the Contest even if I don't get published?

Yes! You get one entry point for every article you submit to Kingdom Pen that follows The KP Guidelines between September 2021 and January 2022.

And if you do get your article approved and published, you earn 10 more entry points!

Do I have to write and submit articles related to the Theme of the Month?

Not at all! The Theme of the Month is just there to have a general focus for the month. 

You can still submit and get articles published in a month whose theme is on a different topic!

Can I still submit Poems, short stories, and book reviews?

Absolutely! However, they won't be counted towards the Dragon Slayer Article Contest.

Okie Dokie! That's December's Theme of the Month, plus a bit of info on the current Article Contest running to hopefully clear up some of your questions!
