As a writer, there are lots of fun opportunties to create something new and different as part of a writing contest. Susannah Hill has great contests for writers at different times of the year. Her halloween one; however, is a favorite of mine. For this contest, she challenges writers to use only 100 words to create a story that is engaging and complete while also requiring the writer to use three words that she chose to be included in the story. This year she chose - goosebumps, glow-in-the-dark, and goodies. It was a fun challenge to be sure! Below is my entry, which I was delighted to discover won an honorable mention. It was inspired by a camp song - I wonder if you'll recognize it. Sing along if you like! Below are the links to the contest and the list of winners. Enjoy friends! A Witchy Potion By: Susan Summers WC: 95 Great green gobs of granulated gerbil toes, goodies ground with chocolate goo, and a pile of monkey poo. Stir and swirl – into a glowing witchy brew, just for Halloween. Last year’s potion wasn’t gloppy, didn’t stick. Needed lots more oomph and ick – so that kids would leave right quick! This one here – has the stuff to do the trick. Bring on Halloween! Add some goosebumps from a little scaredy-cat, with a toasted toady tail, scoop a bunch into the pail. Grab my broom – up into the air, I sail. Happy Halloween! susannahill.com/2021/11/12/the-2021-halloweensie-contest-winners/ susannahill.com/2021/10/29/the-11the-annual-halloweensie-writing-contest-aahhhrrrooooooooo/comment-page-3/#comment-75452
