One Month Writing Challenge!
As stated on my blog, I'm starting a new segment: One Month Writing Challenge! It is sort of similar to NaNoWriMo, but every month and on specific topics and not quite such a steep word count. You all will have the opportunity to pick the topic by sending in any ideas to me through the contact section of this site. I will pick one topic for each month and will post them here. I hope you all will take part in this and find it an enjoyable way to expand your writing abilities. Some of you will even get published on the site, and having any sort of publication will only help your writing resume for future publications! I have put everything discussed in my blog post below. I hope you enjoy, and don't forget to just keep writing!

Rules:
All submissions will be accepted via the contact tab. First place will be published on my website on the tab labeled One Month Writing Challenge. Second, third, and fourth place will get a shout out on my twitter and blog. I'm hoping that this will be a popular new segment and that many people will see the benefit to working on a different topic each month and sending it to me in hopes of publication. I know my website is not the most public of publications, but it is a start to your writing career. By participating in this contest, you will be working on your writing with a specific word count and deadline that will help to broaden your ability to write anything with increasingly better quality. The more you write, the better your writing will become. By challenging yourself to write a certain amount by a certain time on a specific topic will also help you with your writing in general. The first place winner will also get a shout out on my twitter page. The follow more up to date posts on the contest, follow me on twitter. I will use the #onemonthwritingchallenge. The topic will be posted by the end of the previous contest. That means the 14th of each month.

Rules:
- You will have a month to write and submit your story.
- The submission deadline will be the 14th of every month so that I have time to read through them all and post the winner and secondary winners on the site by the last day of each month this contest goes on.
- Your submission must be at least 1,000 words in length. (If it's a little less that's perfectly fine! And of course it can always be longer as well!)
- Each submission must be based on that month's topic.
- Submissions must not be overly sexual or vulgar. They must be appropriate for all readers at least age 13.
