1. Writer’s Digest One Sentence Story Contest
I am thrilled about Writer’s Digest One Sentence Contest! Basically when you click the link it takes you to the contest page where you are asked to write the opening sentence of a story based on a picture. You have absolutely no excuse to not enter this contest because it is not time consuming and as far as I can see, it’s FREE! They will be choosing 10 winners who will be published in the September 2010 “Big Ten” issue of Writer’s Digest! The Deadline for this contest is approaching! Enter by MAY 14, 2010
