55 Word Challenge: Week Sixty-Eight

 

Welcome back to #55WordChallenge!   For those that are uninitiated, the 55 Word Challenge is a contest to write a story in 55 words or less. Not an easy task, but fun and I have been blown away by some of the entries. See for yourself, past contests can be found here. (I am a bit behind in getting this updated.) The challenge begins at noon Eastern time every Wednesday and ends at noon Thursday. The story is based on one of three photo prompts. My only request is no porn. I don't want to hear graphic details. If it is erotic, make it titillating, not obscene. I know that can be done and done well.   The story is to be posted in the comment section below, along with your twitter handle or email address, so I can contact you if you are the winner.   And what does the winner get? Besides bragging rights? This badge, which can proudly be displayed on your blog or website. You can even have it tattooed onto your body, but that might be a little weird.       If anyone is interested in contributing a prize, a book, cover art, whatever you want, let me know and we will work something out. If you are an artist that would like to have your work featured, let me know!   Photo Prompt:

I am going to ask for your help with something. I am running a children's summer writing contest on SitNRead called #KidsWrite. It has been a struggle trying to get entries, in fact this past week we didn't have any entries. Can you please help spread the word? Visionary Press Cooperative is offering a $5.00  Amazon gift card every week for winners in 3 categories, but so far it's been a giveaway when we only get one or two entries each week. Tomorrow starts the 9th week and the last month for the contest.
