Writing Contest

Looking for quick and fun writing contest? I'll try to keep an ongoing list here. If you have to pay a large amount of money to submit a piece, take a good look at where the money is going. Like any industry, there are a few scams out there. Do you want to win a contest or do you want to pay to win?

Week 22 (week 20 on list) Playing with Fire

Sorry I missed a week. We decided to share our germs around the house. Add to that all the work that goes into starting a company and you wonder how I find time to sleep. Prompt: Playing With Fire You come across a pack of matches that sets of a series of uncanny events. Start your story with "My mother always told me not play with fire." My Creativity My mother always told me not play with fire, but I never was very good at listening to her. Perhaps this time I should have. Just don't tell her that I said that. It all started with my daily run. While, what I like to call a run. Anyway, I was out for my morning run, and I stopped at my usual bench to rest. I bend down to tie my shoe lace when something caught me eye. It was a small box of matches. I picked them up and put them in my pocket. I didn't want to leave them at the park; I visualized some child picking them up and playing with them. I stood up and returned to my run. I was refreshed with energy. It

Week 21 ( Week 19 on sheet) A Cold Where You....Instead of Sneeze

Prompt: A cold where you (fill in the blank) instead of sneeze. My Creativity I woke up and could feel the start of a cold tickling the back of my throat, and clogging up my sinuses. Even though I hadn't slept well that night, I knew that I needed to go to work. I'd taken too many sick days already. This was my year for catching ever cold or flu that was going around. Before heading out the door, I took a swig of DayQuill, grabbed my purse, and headed out the door. I didn't mind that the traffic was moving slowly this morning. Usually I'd be cursing under my breath or mumbling rude comments. Not today. Today, I enjoy listening to the radio. Today, I enjoyed the long pauses in traffic. It gave my dry eyes a break. I parked in my assigned spot and walked towards the elevator. I knew I was too late to make the mild- run morning stops. Part of me felt like pressing extra buttons just to get some extra stop on my way to the 25th floor. Unfortunately, I wasn't alo

Week 20 (week 18 on sheet) - You See a Face Through Your Dark Window

Prompt You always look out of dark window windows and wonder if something is out there. One night when you look, a small face with bright eyes appears at the window. Write about what you do, who/what it is, and why it's there. My Creativity I'm about to turn the lights out in my office. As always, I stop at the door and look out the window and into the darkness. Something I've been doing since I was a little girl. Just as I am about to turn around to leave the room, I spot something. Slowly I walk towards the windows. In the distance, out the left window, I see a pair of bright green eyes. Clear as can be, there is a small face with vibrant eyes staring at me just as I am staring at it. I tilt my head slightly, the small head mimics my movement. I return my head to the centre, the small head does the same. I worry that if I leave the room to go outside, the being will vanish. Perhaps run off out of fear. I just know that I can't stand in my office all night withou
