Seriously, people – don’t hold back. Don’t pretend that you don’t WANT to tell us exactly what happened on The Day You Left, or precisely why you Had to Quit That Job, or the juicy details of The Second Time You Kissed. Please explain to us, in excruciating detail, every moment of Your Volkswagen Escapade. Please elaborate upon the finer points of their horrified – or sympathetic – reactions, If They Only Knew. Search your memory for illuminating flashes of the incident You’d Almost Forgotten. And we can’t wait to hear about Your Most Spectacular Success – or, even more interesting, Your Most Spectacular Failure.
Please, kiss and tell. Tell all. No holds barred, no punches pulled: short stories, essays and poems of all genres – fiction, fact, or a little of both. It’s your blank page; make of it what you will. But whatever leaks from your mind, or your pen, or your keyboard, get it out there. A Word with You Press longs to hear you whisper in our ear, or shout it from the rooftops: ”THIS IS MY DEFYING MOMENT!”
What, pray tell, is a Defying Moment? Click here to refresh your memory regarding the details of our contest, which still has a bit of room for more entries. To get your creative juices flowing, read a few of our previously posted entries, and add your comments in the Comment Box. I personally have been astonished by the incredible variety of stories that have gushed forth from your fertile minds – and I know you will be, too.
This is YOUR Defying Moment. Seize it, wrestle it to the ground, and write about it. Then send it to me at monika@awordwithyoupress.com. Your story is waiting to be told.
