1000 Word SPRINT

Our next full-fledged Word Weaver Writing Contest will be in July, and will have a theme of scary/eerie/macabre/dark. We’ll be kinda loose on that (I mean, “dark” covers a lot of ground) and we’ll look to create another scary-style anthology from the entries.

BUT!

Before we get into that, we have some things we need to address.

It’s commonly understood by editors and critique partners that writers tend to take a while to get a story up and running.

That’s hurting you, gang.

That’s a big no-no.

GRAB your reader on page one, in the first paragraph.

In the first sentence, if possible.

Then take them for a roller coaster ride.
