Inspiration for Writers Contest

Another contest from Sandy Tritt's company, Inspiration For Writers, Inc.

Below is the Cliff Notes version, but check out her blog site for full details, and to qualify for the contest. This one includes a GREAT PRIZE! Her blog can be found at www.InspirationForWritersInc.blogspot.com

Good luck!

In our last post, we covered dialogue, and we gave you some examples of ways you can use beats, physical descriptions, to show your characters in your stories. Here’s your chance to put that into practice. We’re going to give you five themes, and it’s up to you to write the dialogue.

But first, a few rules for this writing contest:

You don’t have to use all five themes, but you do need to use at least one.

You should stick to one character per theme. (Feel free to use the same character across themes.)

You don’t have to use a beat, but you do need to make sure you format attributions correctly.

In order to win the prize, you must be a follower on our blog.

Please leave us a way to contact you with your entry.

Here are your five themes:

Have a character declare his or her love.

Have a character declare his or her hate.

Have a character greet a friend.

Have a character greet his or her nemesis.

Have a character respond to an embarrassing situation.

Post your answers in the comment section for a chance to win an e-book of our popular Tips and Techniques Workbook. You can get a sneak peek of the workbook at our website. We'll announce the winner Friday, September 4th.
