Writing Contest: Your Calling Your Story

written by Bryan Hutchinson

This year’s writing contest is all about telling YOUR story as a writer.

When did you know writing is your calling?

What led you to become a writer? What did you go through to get here? Do you remember the moment you realized writing is your calling? Or, did it come to you gradually? How did you feel when you finally realized it?

Tell us about your confidence. Were you always confident to share your work?

Tell us about your doubts and fears. Do you ever feel doubtful? If so, how did you, or what are you doing, to overcome it? Share your trials and tribulations, your elations and your successes.

This writing contest is about helping others see the potential within themselves.

How are you going to do that? I don’t know. But what I do know is: You Can do it.

You are a writer. More than that, you are an inspiration. We need your words. We want to be touched by them, moved by them, and compelled to believe… to believe we’re better than we give ourselves credit for. That anyone with the desire to be CAN be a writer.

You have this power. I know you do. In days like these, we need you to use it.

My suggestion is to write as if the goal of this contest is more important than winning it.

With that said, I do have some prizes for you. 🙂

The Contest:

It’s easy to enter. Write an essay (blog post) with the single purpose of getting those who read it to believe in themselves and their calling, using your experience as inspiration.

I’m not looking for technically perfect posts. I am looking for essays I believe will encourage others to face their challenges and ignite their passion for life and writing. That’s it. I think any further criteria will only inhibit contestants from writing their most inspiring work. Just write it, post it, and we’ll go from there.

This contest ends 15 Dec 2019.

No entry fee.

The prizes are:

1st Prize:

->) $95.00 Amazon gift card + All-New Fire 7 Tablet (7″ display, 16 GB)

2nd Prize:

->) $75.00 Amazon gift card

3rd Prize:

->) $50.00 Amazon gift card

I became a writer because I saw a ghost. I had my first paranormal experience when I was 8 years old. At first, I thought it was just me and that I had 'night terrors.' It turns out that I wasn't imagining things. I've wanted to write about that experience for over 30 years. And so, yes, it literally is the reason I became a writer. Now, I've finally done it! I've written the story. You can get a copy at most online booksellers, or click here.
