*drum roll please* Today I have a special announcement for you, friends! Announcing the... 3rd Annual Worth it All Blog Story Contest! Last year I hosted my story contest, Beauty for Ashes, here on the blog and how much fun that was with all of you who entered. I'm so excited to announce our 3rd story contest, with the theme of "True Love" for 2019. It is February after all. So are you ready for more details? "True Love" Story Prompt At this time of year with Valentine's Day just around the corner, everyone starts thinking about this four-letter word...L.O.V.E. But do we even understand what this word means? Do we understand that love means more than chocolates and roses on one day of the year? Through story, your goal is to capture what real love looks like. What is true love? What is love in action? The greatest love the world has ever known came through Jesus. How do we give that to others? Capture the meaning of true love in your short story! Details: Contest Begins: February 4, 2019 Deadline for entries: March 4, 2019 Winner announced: March 11, 2019 Rules: (Any stories not abiding by these rules will be automatically disqualified.) ~Maximum of 2,000 words. Fiction story can be anywhere between that word count, but cannot exceed that amount. Any stories that exceed 2,000 words will be disqualified. ~Type your story in a Microsoft Word document in Times New Roman font and font size, 12. ~Only include story title and story content in your first document. ~In a separate document include story title, your first and last name, and your age. You may also include, if you so desire, a short bio and picture for the blog to be used if you are chosen as a winner. ~Our judge will not know the authors of the stories when she is judging, which is why we need two separate documents. Do not include your name in the document with your story, but do not forget to include the story title! ~The above story prompt must be used in some way in your story. Use this to launch your story ideas and plot. Use your imagination to make your story unique and your characters come to life. ~Please submit all entries to: [email protected]. ~If you have any questions or concerns, contact me using my email address or the contact form here on my blog! Prizes: Grand prize: Winner will receive ONE FREE Cheerleader Session with myself and Livy Jarmusch! To learn more about Cheerleader Sessions, go here. Winner's story will also be featured right here on my blog and shared on my social media accounts. Runner up: The runner up will have their story featured on my blog and also shared on my social media accounts. Announcing Our Special Guest Judge for the Contest! Our guest judge who will be judging the stories for the True Love Story Contest will be...MacKenzie Morganthal! I'm so grateful Kenzie agreed to judge for this contest! Kenzie has been a writer for over ten years and has authored two novels in the Mission for Freedom series, Not Abandoned and Out of the Dark. She has lots of wisdom to share regarding writing and I know she will do a great job as a judge for this contest! Thank you, Kenzie. Are you ready to get writing?
