Dear Sir or Madam,
Below is information on TheNextBigWriter’s Times Are Tough Droubble/Drabble writing competition. Thank you in advance for providing a link:
Take a look at the picture below:
It is of a homeless man leaning against a storefront during the Great Depression. Write about this man and the picture. What is he doing there? Where is he? Who is he? Why is he there? Why is he homeless? These are some of the questions open to exploration.
We’ll be awarding two $100 prizes. One for the best Droubble and the other for the best Drabble.
Per Wikipedia: “A drabble is an extremely short work of fiction exactly one hundred words in length, although the term is often misused to indicate a short story of less than 1000 words. The purpose of the drabble is brevity and to test the author’s ability to express interesting and meaningful ideas in an extremely confined space. Richard N. Hill recently coined the phrase “dribble” to describe a story that is only 50 words. Michael Kent of The Next Big Writer added “droubble” for a double drabble, a story in exactly 200 words.”
To enter: Posting your writing story anytime during the Contest period. The Drabble submission must include the tags Tough Drabble (entered as tough_drabble) while the Droubble must include the tags Tough Droubble (entered as tough_droubble).
Deadline: 11:59 PM ET on January 15, 2009
Awards:
* $100 to the best Droubble.
* $100 to the best Drabble.
