Share on FacebookThe Novelette.com: The Beauty Contest
Central Park October 2009
The Novelette.com, a site for writers, artists, and readers, is hosting another of its writing contests. The theme this time around is Beauty.
Take a look at all the beauty in the world.
Then write a story — 750 words max — and enter the writing contest.
The next contest opens now and runs through November 15th. Two winners will win $25 gift certificates!
Beauty — a terrible thing to waste, so write about it.
Many of the entries are already posted--and so many of those are wonderful. The site also features new photographs of autumn out on the East Coast. I encourage looking at those, too, while you're over there. Indeed, they'll probably offer inspiration for the contest.
