This is it! The final round of this series of micro fiction writing competitions. The last round before production begins on the second Mum Life Stories Anthology, and your final chance to be a part of this beautiful book.
I’m sad to say that this will probably be the last series of competitions I will be able to run, at least for a while. My family and business commitments have meant that I cannot spend the time that I need to on getting the competitions advertised and judged etc in reasonable time frames. I don’t know if I will be able to run them again in the future but I’m hopeful that I will.
So let’s make this last round the best one yet. Please help spread the word on social media etc, and tell all your writer friends so that we can finish this anthology with a bang!
Round 6 is themed ‘Empty Nest’, probably the most bitter sweet time in a mothers life, when all the hard work sees it’s reward in an independent child going off to live their own life but at the same time leaving a child-sized hole in our hearts that will never truly be filled again. It’s a new season, filled with new experiences and choices about our own lives that we didn’t have the option for, for so many years, but now we are not sure if we want. Confusing, yet exciting at the same time.
I’m really looking forward to reading all the submissions in a months time.
Submission opens at 12AM this Sunday morning AEST, the 16th of October and closes 4 weeks later on Sunday the 6th of November at midnight AEST.
