I cannot wait to see Sinners with Michael B. Jordan and I heard they are making Nobody 2. If you've never seen Nobody and you like action movies you'll love it because it's just fun.

Good morning. https://www.storiesspace.com/forum/writing-competitions-and-calls-for-submissions/writers-block-competition
Oh and here are some cookies while you read.
Writer's Block Competition!
Administration
We thought we would do something a little different this time. You could say, putting the pressure on you, while having a little fun. Here's the premise:
You're a writer and the demands of others are weighing on you. You've got a deadline looming over your head but you've been struck with a terrible case of writer's block. We're all writers, we've all been there. We want you to get creative and find a way to break free from that writer's block. Perhaps it's something small, like taking a jog to see the beauty of nature. Or maybe it's a bit more extreme, such as giving a sacrifice to the Gods of old... Do whatever you have to do to meet that deadline. As added pressure, this contest will only run for two weeks and you only have one thousand words. Good luck!
Quick little add-on here, when we say "do whatever", that whatever still has to fall within StoriesSpace guidelines.
Per usual, all categories are open except poetry, songs, musings, and plays.
Quick Rules:
You have two weeks (14 days).
The maximum word count is 1000.
You cannot submit already published work.
All Stories Space rules and guidelines apply. https://www.storiesspace.com/legal/acceptable-use-policy
The ending date is February 26, 2025
The winners will be announced on March 5, 2025
Prizes:
1st Place $50 (USD)
2nd Place $25 (USD)
3rd Place $15 (USD)
Have fun and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Congratulations to the runners up and the 2nd and 3rd places.. I have to ask, when does the winner 🏆 get announced?
Hiya. There was a glitch with the main competition page. It was all announced here. Sorry for any confusion! https://www.storiesspace.com/forum/site-announcements-and-members-feedback/announcing-the-winners-of-the-sound-of-silence-competition
Announcing The Winners Of The Sound Of Silence Competition!

Good morning/afternoon! Competition announcement day: https://www.storiesspace.com/forum/site-announcements-and-members-feedback/announcing-the-winners-of-the-sound-of-silence-competition?page=1&post=211733
And in honor of that, here are an assortment of bakery goodies.

When we first started this competition I didn't realize how deep into the emotions many of you would go. You got me and I am not ashamed to admit there may have been a few tears involved. You all never cease to amaze us and let me tell you, the one thing the judges all had in common, they struggled with this. Please know that mere points separated the majority of you so if you do not see your name up there, it's not because it wasn't great, because it was. Thank you all and without further ado, here are your top ten!
1st Place: Sixteen Minutes by verbal
2nd Place: Alone by TheShyThespian
3rd Place: Be careful What You Wish For! by AnnaMayZing
5th Place: Flurries of Angel Tears. by CuriousAnnie
6th Place: Damaged Goods by Ping
7th Place: The Most Wonderful Gift Of All by WriterGirl
8th Place: Like Icicles In Her Heart by OpheliaTusk
9th Place: The Only Living Boy on Bleaker Street by tinhatcat
10th Place: Absentia by TomEccleston

Thank you again to everyone who participated, or helped in any way. Y'all are amazing and I appreciate you. If you haven't read them all I suggest you do.
I look forward to the next competition!
To the top three, I'll be in touch shortly concerning your prizes!
EDIT TO ADD:
There was a tiny glitch with the leaderboard on the main Competition page. It does not show Verbal as 1st Place and it does not show Courgette as 4th Place. It is blank for both. We are working to get that sorted as soon as possible. This page is correct. Thanks.

It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that I found out earlier that Elliot passed away a couple of months ago, aged just 42.
He was such a wonderful person and friend to so many of us.
If you've never read anything of his, you really should, Elliot's poetry is just beautiful and a testament to who he was as a person. This is a huge loss and he will be missed.

By the way, I love the comp image. Very evocative. Not sure who does the work for those nowadays but if it isn't you, pass on my thanks and appreciation.
Thank you so much. It's been a team effort. Lately, I've picked a few pictures that I love and that match the theme and sent them to a brilliant friend who makes what you all see. They can see this thread, but I'll leave it up to them if they want to take the credit.

I took a few days away to sort some things and I'm very excited to see so many stories in the queue! I'll catch up on them soon and I look forward to seeing more. Not that I'm being greedy or anything.
Also, I can see the irony of a Sound of Silence comp with the first post of the thread being in all caps.
