NYC MIdnight

As you know, this blog is not just about sharing the educational portfolio I created as a grad student in Instructional Learning Technology. This blog is also a place for me to share my passions for writing, reading and teaching.

At the end of this week, I will be hearing from the judges at NYC Midnight as to how my short short story was received.

This is the third year I have entered one of the online writing contests at NYC Midnight, and I'm amazed at how much it grows each year. People from all over the world enter the contests and this year, I'm proud to say that my sister was one of them!

The Flash Fiction Challenge tests the writing skills of its contestants by challenging them to concoct a 1000-word story based on a randomly assigned genre, setting and object in 48 hours. While the contest does require an entry fee, all stories get feedback from published writers.

What I love about this contest is that it's a great creative kickstarter for amateur storytellers (like myself). Thanks to this contest, I've written five stories that I'd never have even considered writing.
If you're a writer with an adventurous side, I highly recommend checking out this website.

For a taste of what the contest is all about, check out one of my favorite story entries...
