FW WRITING CHALLENGE

Writing Challenge round three starts with a limerick


 

 

One talented winner of Florida Weekly’s Writing Challenge will attend the Sanibel Writers Conference Friday through Sunday, Nov. 3-6, at BIG ARTS and the Sanibel Island Public Library. Throughout the next several months, Florida Weekly will provide prompts for writers and ask for submissions. The best submissions will be printed in these pages. A panel of editors will choose one winner from all the entries that have been printed. The winner will be announced in the Nov. 2 edition of Florida Weekly. The cost of the conference is $350, $280 for BIG ARTS members and $250 for students. For more information on the conference, visit www.fgcu.edu/siwc/.

For the third round of this year’s Writing Challenge, use the photo of the boy and the dog as a starting point for your creative process. We’d like you to come up with fictional prose or a poem of 1,000 words or less.

Florida Weekly will accept your original stories in Word format or pasted into the body of an e-mail until Saturday, Sept 17. E-mail submissions to writing@floridaweekly.com. Be sure to include your name, address and contact information. Feel free to include a headshot of yourself as well. Thanks for writing and good luck. ¦

‘You Must Be Kidding’

I really don’t like this, my Master.
If you wish me to eat a bit faster,
Feed me something red
Like meat that is dead,
Or, perhaps, a large bacon rasher.
