The Waiting Room: NYCMidnight Flash Fiction Challenge
I recently took a break from chewing through the plot of my novel to enter my first writing contest--and I'm so glad I did. It's been incredibly enriching to read other authors and their stories, and it's been nice to get away from my turning and turning and scratching at a plot like a dog trying to make its bed.
Here are all of the entries if you'd like to read them. They are located in the following forum:
You have to register/sign in to read them.
The premise for the contest is that contestants are broken up into 20 groups, and then given the following:
A genre/A setting that must be included/An object to be included.
The story must be under 1000 words, and you have 48 hours to complete it--in this case midnight Friday to 11:59pm Sunday night.
My group was given:
Open genre/The 13th floor of an office building/A toy soldier
