Hey everyone. Hope all of you are good. Today, I'll be revealing the winner of the 'Shary's Writing Prompt Contest #1 and will also talk about the next contest.
Winner of Contest #1
I received a total of 7 entries which was quite a good response for the first contest especially considering that it was held by a minnow so yeah I felt good on receiving all the entries and the nice response. I am thankful to all the entrants and I enjoyed all the stories. There was one story I liked the most. It was intriguing, full of suspense and it was really well written too. So the winner is....
Congrats to you man! Your story was really good. You win 5SBD prize and I am so happy that you participated in the contest. Do consider joining the next one too.

The Prize
The winner of the contest will win a prize of 5SBDs from me and honorable mentions will receive 1SBD each. If this post does well and makes over $30, I'll add more SBD to the prize pool.
Tip
Guys, please do proofread your work and check for any grammatical errors, spellign mistakes and sentence construction issues. Stories that are written well and do not contain these issues have a higher chance of winning. The winning story in the first contest hardly had any sentence construction issues, grammatical errors or other mistakes which is why it stood out from the rest.
So guys, get started with it, get your creative juices flowing and produce some exciting stories. And oh yeah, one entry per person is allowed. :) I wish you all GOOD LUCK!!
Love and light,
Sharoon.
