Short Story Writing Contest!
Been looking for ideas, today I decided to create a writing challenge. So the basics all you have to do is make a story. Here is an example that I did back in November based on an idea some one else had tried.
One idea I followed was simply to start writing, I just put my ideas onto the page. When I ran out of ideas I went back to look at spelling, and re-read the story. That lead to a few more ideas and I expanded the story to the point I felt it was my best.
Lets see what kind of creative ideas people have, I am going to make a prompt, all you need to do is start with the prompt and make a story. You can make your own post with the story and promote it any way you wish.
Rules are simple
Either post your story as a reply here, or a link to that story to be considered as an entry. (Creating your own post would be my advice, just don't forget to post the link here!)
Make your story, being I plan to read the stories lets keep it short, for example about 1 or two pages.
All submissions are due by 1/20/2017 at midnight Pacific Time.
You can use any tags that you wish that fit your story.
Let's have fun
Good luck and let's see some creative content! Please include a link or a reference to this writing challenge to get others involved, thank you! I made this article 50/50 payout, I will split the liquid rewards from this post, 10% for me the remaining will go to the winning author!
Prompt to write from
- I walked outside today and found I had a flat tire ...
I will be making my story from this prompt and adding it in the next day or two!

One of my ok ones... pity no one seems to read my stuff haha.
Good idea for the story contest though, good way to encourage writers.
Hey, follow me too if you like it :). I write quite a bit, and have heaps queued up :)
Oh, there's a prompt! Lol this is totally irrelevant then, sorry!
Thanks for the entry first one so far! Hope this helps you gain followers. I just followed you!
A great competition. Remember if your story is fiction to tag it so as there is quite the active community fiction trail looking for good content to vote on
Great point, the fiction trail is really good.
