*waves* I just wanted to share with you guys the short story contest I’m hosting on my blog, if any of y’all would like to enter!

The contest ends June 15th (yeah, I know that’s in less than three weeks…), and you’ll base your story (of 800-3,000 words) on one of the three writing prompts I’ve supplied you. There will only be one winner, and their entry will be published on my blog, and they’ll receive a twenty-page critique of their WIP!

Here’s the post with all the information…

Anyway, just wanted to let y’all know in case anyone is interested (and because I’ve only had one entry thus far XD)!!!

@gracie-j I think destiny is calling me to enter in your contest.😂 Let me explain, first, I just so happen to open the email to your contest blog post earlier today. ~~I have no idea why I waited so late to open the email! XD~~ I thought to myself, “hm, this sounds interesting!” But I’m thinking about it as I went about my day. THEN I just so happen to be scrolling through the recent topics on this forum, and I see this topic post. Now I realize I was tagged for this and probably have an email notif in my inbox right now. So, all this to say that I think I was meant to enter in your contest!😂 Your prompts look so much FUN!!!!!! I’m debating on which one I should do!🤔 And now I’m EXCITED for this contest!!!!! 😀

Also, is it ok if I don’t have twenty pages in my WIP yet?

New person here! Ooh, this sounds fun. I need a mental health break from madly typing my current WIP, so I do believe I shall take a few days off and write le short story.
