Not a Bad Start to a Monday...
A nice way to start a new week. I log on to find that I have an honourable mention in tcstu's Tumblr blog monthly competition. The challenge was to write a short piece to suit a piece of art selected for that month. The art for the month of January 2021 was created by hydraart on Tumblr and can be viewed on either of those pages.
My Honourable Mention is a short piece of dark fantasy prose called Maran-do. Take a look at the winner and the other Honourable Mentions too.
As if that wasn't enough, I then log on to Facebook to find that I have won the weekly competition on the Grimdark Fiction Readers and Writers page. This challenge was to write a 'story' of no more than twenty words which was, again, prompted by a piece of art, this time by Marcel Marcado. The exciting thing about this is that I now have to go up against the winners of all of the previous weeks in January to try to win 'a small prize.' Bring it on! I love little challenges like this, that test the imagination and the self-discipline to comply to word counts and deadlines. What do you mean, I am supposed to be writing three (yes, three) books, not to mention a few new Silly Sunday Zombie Limericks? What's your point?!
