I'm trying to be brave and do something new, so I am running a hint fiction (a story in 25 words or less) contest at my blog, http://misfitsalon.blogspot.com. The prize - $25 Amazon gift certificate.
It runs until November 18. I'll pick the five I like the best and then let readers of the blog vote on who should win. See my blog for the rest of the rules.
Who am I? Absolutely nobody. I am not an arbiter of taste by any means. I know no one in the publishing industry. I love to write. I love to read. That's about it.
Why am I doing this? I've always wondered what it would be like to judge rather than be judged. I chose hint fiction because I'm lazy. At 25 words max, including the title, it shouldn't be too hard to read all the entries thoroughly, right?
Seriously, I'm excited to see what can be created within such narrow constraints. I want to be blown away.
