Gotta start somewhere
In the past I enjoyed entering short-fiction contests, the restrictions one is placed under make it fun. Those submissions are below. Note that these are VERY early works, as I was still learning to write, and unpolished. For curiosity only.
5/2012 – Tenacity; for NPR’s 3-minute fiction.
700 words or less, must start with “She closed the book, placed it on the table, and finally, decided to walk through the door.”
2/2012 – London Calling; for Big Think’s contest.
1000 words or less, on future food
9/2011 – Untitled, for NPR’s 3-minute fiction.
700 words or less, must have one character leaving town and one character arriving.
1/2011 – Untitled, for NPR’s 3-minute fiction.
700 words or less, one character tells a joke and one character cries.
9/2010 – Untitled, for NPR’s 3-minute fiction.
700 words or less, begins with “Some people swore that the house was haunted,” and ends with “Nothing was ever the same again after that.”
