2/2/2021 0 Comments 2021 VOTINGĀ IS OPEN!THE TIME TO DECIDE THE WINNER OF THE WRITER GAMES HAS COME UPON US! Our Finalists have worked hard (probably eaten a lot of chocolate), and now it's time to determine the Winner!
And YOU get to help us! Below you can read each of the three Finalists' stories, and then vote on your favorite. Voting will be open for one week (Feb. 2-9). When voting ends, the votes will be added up and the stories will be placed from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. BONUS: everyone who votes are put into a giveaway for a bundle of three bookmarks! 2/5/2020 29 Comments TWG WRAP-UP // FINAL WINNERS!As you probably already know, our theme for this year is "Gradatim Ferociter”— Latin for "step by step, ferociously". Kassie Angle, my fellow TWG host, suggested it after seeing the phrase over on one of our Judges, Jenna Terese's blog. This past month we've seen SO SO SO many stories and writers who embody this, especially our three Finalists: Sarah Baran, Bradley Daniels, and Ash Ronnel! And I'm so happy to be announcing who WON our FIRST EVER Writer Games in this post!
AT LONG LAST WE HAVE REACHED THE VOTING ROUND OF THE WRITER GAMES!!! Our Finalists have been working hard all week long, stressing, guzzling coffee (nasty stuff), regretting every decision to listen to my wonderfully good advice that they should enter this in the first place (I regret nothing), and gleefully discussing the joys of eating chocolate and killing off reader's favorite characters (yes, nonwriters, you should be concerned. And afraid. We writers have a scary concept of fun).
Overall, in writer terms, no one died (real people at least, there were plenty of fictional people's deaths, of course), so this was a success. A wonderful, word-packed, story-filled, success. THANK YOU SO MUCH for everyone who entered, and everyone who votes down below! AND NOW, as I've been happily not getting to the thing you've been excited for this whole week (or maybe even month), I shall end your torture with the grand command of GO FORTH, AND READ THE STORIES AND CAST THY VOTES! 1/22/2020 5 Comments BEHOLD: THE ROUND FOUR"If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write." - Martin Luther
AND SO IT ENDS...As all good things must. You've brainstormed, and written, and drank way more coffee than is probably healthy because--man, this stuff is stressful work. But now here we are: facing Round Four of the Writer Games, the final round of the contest. And we thank you. It doesn't matter if you made it to the second or third or fourth round, what matters is you came--you wrote--you made this flash fiction contest THE WRITER GAMES. So thank you, because this contest wouldn't have been even close to as successful as it has been without you and your stories. 1/14/2020 12 Comments ROUND THREE"A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit.” — Richard Bach.
I can hardly BELIEVE this is the last of the Writer Games Elimination Rounds, and that next week is the Finals!!!! Ten writers will be entering this Third Round, and only the top three will be moving on to the Finals (in which is open voting, medals, prizes, and personal Writing Mentors!) -- which means you're going to want to pay extra attention to your entry for this Round. Let's get into all the info for this Round! 1/8/2020 17 Comments ROUND TWO (+Round One Prize Winners, Who's Going into Round Two, & Everything You Need To Know)Today marks the beginning of week two of The Writer Games! A HUGE thank you to everyone who entered Round One, we loved reading all of y'all's six word stories! With Round Two the requirements are increased both in word count and challenges. So without any further ado, let's see who will be moving on to Round Two, who won the Round One mini prizes, and everything you need to know about this week's entries!
HAPPY WRITER GAMES, y'all! Today is January 1st, 2020. The first day of the VERY FIRST Writer Games in history! Now before you go off in a wonderful flurry of chocolate, coffee, and fireworks to do what Writers do best---procrastinate -- I MEAN WRITE, we write...which is why we're called writers...RIGHT? Right. SO before you go do that, you need to know the what where and why: SO HERE WE GO:
