Team Ed woot woot! It's done! Now I have to think up my NYCM SS!
#NotQuiteWritePrize #ContestGoblin #WritingCompetition
I am excited to share that my story Pharaoh Strikes Back made it to the finals in my group over at Write Hook 1000 and got runner-up! Well done winners! ๐
#WriteHook #ContestGoblin #WritingCompetition
Just found out my little horror piece took 3rd in my group in the #ScaryStoryChallenge.
Looks like I'll be quite busy on the contest front this weekend.
Oh boy!
#contestgoblin
Completed my first new story of the year!
Barely finished in time but I managed to get something out for #furiousfiction.
Very fun set of prompts this month.
#contestgoblin
My story Violet Flames has been published in the new Twisted Mag, if anyone fancies reading it or other fab stories you can find it here twistedtournament.com/magazine
Happy reading ๐

I must confess, I'm truly honored to have made the Not Quite Write longlist.
#notquitewritepodcast.com #contestgoblin
Not the showing I'd hoped for, but across two contests I've created a world I want to explore more and characters with a story begging to be told. And that's a win. #contestgoblin #shortstory #writinglife
Day 42
#43daysofwritinginsanity is coming to a close. In the midst of the #twistedtournament. Completed my 500 & 250 word stories. And have a good jump start on my 100.
No #500WordChallenge2025 Finals for me this time around, but I did earn an HM.
I'll take it. Competition is fierce.

Day 30-something
#43daysofwritinginsanity is wrapping up this week.
Submitted to #FuriousFiction and #RhymingStoryChallenge today. The Rhyming was particularly challenging for me and I was waaaaay out of my comfort zone. Happy to get something in though. On to #twistedtournament
#contestgoblin
Day 30???
#43daysofwritinginsanity
Completed both #ScaryStoryChallenge & #WBAutumn today and I am beat.
Tomorrow marks the start of the second 3-day break before #FuriousFiction & hopefully #RhymingStoryChallenge next weekend.
It's great to be a #contestgoblin.
Days 13-17
#43daysofwritinginsanity
I'm a little behind on my posting.
This weekend was filled with #Foofaraw and boobies. #theboobyprize.
Even manged to squeeze in a blue-footed booby into my story.
The next three days will be quiet. No contests until #notquitewrite.
#contestgoblin
Days 11-12
#43daysofwritinginsanity And what do I do instead of working on my 3 stories for #Foofaraw?
Work on an unrelated story for an Anthology call due tomorrow.
And celebrate my 58th trip around the big gas ball.
I better get cracking. Sunday is coming up fast.
#contestgoblin
Day 3b
#43daysofwritinginsanity
Good news is that I absolutely love the story and can let it breathe. Looking at about 1,000 words but could grow to 2k or so. It will find a home.
My #jerboalit and #NYCM500 stories are done so I can rest.
Not so fast. #WBFear prompts just dropped. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
#contestgoblin
Day 3a
#43daysofwritinginsanity
Woke up very early this morning to finish my #furiousfiction and struggled with my wordcount. My story refused to drop below 650. With 19 minutes to spare, I did a hack job and went to submit. And...
Time change in Australia. Missed the deadline.
DOH!
#contestgoblin
Day 2
#43daysofwritinginsanity
Ended up with a massive headache. Not very conducive to getting any writing done.๐ However, jotted down some ideas for all three contests. And got a good start on the one for #furiousfiction. It's a bit long at 800 words and may be tough to cut down.
#contestgoblin
Day 1
#43daysofwritinginsanity starts off with a bang. Received prompts for all three contests this weekend. Yep. Three.
#FuriousFiction #JerboaLit #NYCM500
This is my anniversary weekend. So glad I married an understanding wife. For some reason she puts up with this foolishness.
#contestgoblin ๐
Day 0.
So, tomorrow begins my #43daysofwritinginsanity. From now 'til Nov 15, I have at least one active prompt-based writing contest every day, but six. What the hell was I thinking! ๐ง
I truly am a contest goblin. Or just plain nuts.
#contestgoblin
I just submitted my entry for this month's Furious Fiction contest. We were prompted to use a famous landmark as a location, and I wonder...
What famous landmark would you choose?
(the one I chose is not one of these, btw)
