Act of Love: Mini Flash Essay Contest
Ends on
Writers, we’ve got a brand-new flash contest for you. This one is inspired by a craft piece from Marion Roach Smith about how to show and not tell in which she shows us — by sharing a very detailed act of love she was the proud recipient of — the difference between the two.
Her post got us thinking about acts of love in our own lives, and we thought you might have some thoughts, too. So, what was an act of love someone did for you, big or small, that has stayed with you? Did your girlfriend hire a blimp to tell the whole world they loved you, or did your partner surprise you with your a lizard, your dream pet, despite their (minor) fear of reptiles? We want to know!
Details:
Word Count: 300 words max — longer drafts will not be considered.
Deadline: EOD Tuesday, June 16
And lastly, the winning story will be published on Narratively.com within the next week.
