Spring Fling Fun!

Hello friends! Our Spring Fling contest is just around the corner! Kaitlyn and I can't wait to start reading your entries. Below, you will find my cheesy sample. I hope it encourages you, makes you laugh, and gives you a little insight into what winning entries look like.

(Please note my entry is meant to be the "encouraging" part. Your entries will be far superior to my ornery little varmint below. I purposely broke grammar rules and more to give you some ideas.)

Some Tips Before You Submit...

1. Check your word count. You don't have to post it, but be sure you know what it is. If you are anything like me, you might be right at the 150 word limit.

2. Have a critique partner look over your entry to check for grammar and ideas! (Don't have a critique partner? You need some. They are one of the best ways to improve your writing. No man is an island, right? Post below if you need one and let's see if we can connect you!)

3. Be sure your entry tells a story from beginning to end. We want to see characters that have a conflict and solve it!

4. Think outside the box. Be innovative.

5. If you are struggling to post your gif, Kaitlyn made a wonderful tutorial on our webpage. Just click on the link button below.

Be sure to ask any questions you might have or just introduce yourself below. The purpose of this whole shindig is to connect the writing community! We want to get to know you.

​Have a great day and happy writing!!!!
