24-Hour Writer’s Weekly Contest
Here are some shorts you can read that I’ve submitted to the 24-Hour Writer’s Weekly Contest. The object of the contest is to write 1,000 words in 24 hours. They send you a topic on Saturday 12:00CST and the deadline is Sunday 12:00CST the next day. It’s pretty fun and also helps with the creative juices. My favorites are starred (★).
