Dear Pens!

Here is the #PostcardStory 3 Contest!

If you are familiar with Penana's 'Story Behind the Drawing' writing contest series, this contest is exactly the same! We decided to change the name to 'Postcard Story' because the winners of the contest can actually win home a Penana designed postcard! We also hope this contest can help spark your writing muses during your NaNoWriMo, which starts today!

Without further ado,

Our first artist started with this...

Followed by our second artist...

and finally the polished version.

All of us that dark corner of our mind, that place in our heads where we think things that even scare ourselves. Whether it's your fantasy of brutally murdering someone or just setting a building on fire, write it here and submit it. (these can be based off you, or any of your characters)

Entries should be rated from PG-R

Just like the first 55-word story contest.  Create a 55-word story(including the title). This contest is just to see how creative anyone can be. A story can start and end in just a few words. You can write about anything you want. Enjoy! Good luck! <3

Sequel of Create Your Own Writer's Quote 1,2,3.

Write an original quote that represents yourself as a writer now. The fun part of doing this is the feelings you get when you revisit it as you become a more experienced writer.

Try to create a short and inspirational quote! Have fun writing!

Write a confession for anything. A kelpto, an addict, anything you pick!

Word count: as much as you want, has to be more than one sentence though.

Judging is creators pick.

Rating can be as high as R so go for whatever you want to write

Alright give me your very best prompts. Don't exceed two paragraphs. If you don't know what I mean by prompt, I mean give me your best story ideas. Like for example:

This story follows two young men as they struggle with their own addictions. Living two separate lives not knowing anything about each other their lives suddenly become intertwined when the sudden death of one of their sister, who happens to be the other's wife, becomes the one thing that makes them inseparable as they try to work together to prove her death was not an accident. Will their addictions get the best of them and make solving this mystery impossible? Or will they work together and overcome their addictions so they can solve this mystery and finally put the man responsible for the death of the woman they both loved away for good?

I did this twice before and had amazing stories its a new school year so show us what you have got!

1 sentence no more and it must be moving, doesn't need context it can be all dialog.

Flash Fiction Contest.

Prompt: "Your protagonist has super-powered hindsight. Instead of seeing only what happened in hindsight, he sees every single possibility in full detail, and can see the future of each possible path."

One of my favorite writing prompts. Free reign on how you interpret it. Looking for out of the box stories! Good Luck! And have FUN! :D

Word Count: At least 100 words. Limit it 1000.

There are always words inside of us that we've wished for the courage to speak aloud.

Be it words to a version of yourself, or to the people in our future and our past, here's the time to open your heart. Write a letter to someone - anyone or no one at all - as poignant as it is honest.
