Mark your calendar: #5minutefiction tomorrow!
Mark your calendars! I’m the guest judge for the #5MinuteFiction contest tomorrow (Tues July 21) at 7:30pm Central time, and I hope you’ll participate in the event.
#5MF started in 2010 and is currently being hosted by Wendy of Write on Wendy. As the guest judge, I came up with the writing prompt for tomorrow’s contest. (You have to use the prompt phrase somewhere in your entry, which can be a short story, scene, poem, etc.) Entrants have five minutes to write their submission, which they share in the comments section of that day’s #5MF post. The post (which will reveal the prompt) and contest will go live on Write on Wendy. tomorrow at 7:30pm Central time, and submissions close at 7:45pm. I’ll pick the five finalists, and then there’s open voting for which of those five is the winner.
The contest is a nice way to practice quick and spontaneous writing, to meet people, and to have fun. The winner will receive a free digital copy of my book Laika in Lisan. I hope to see you there!
