A Post-Realm Makers Report
For me Realm Makers was more about creating and launching new projects and small groups and individual one-on-one meetings than anything else. I’m grateful for the opportunities the conference provided!

2013 Summer Writing Challenge Winner And Question
We have our winner: Austin Gunderson. Congratulations. But now, I have to ask. How many of you writers would be interested in participating in a short story contest if you were required to pay a $5.00 entry fee?

Now It’s The Readers’ Turn
This early stage is to determine the top three entries which will be included in next week’s poll, so visitors may hit the thumbs-up button on as many of the entries as they wish. You might ask yourself if you’d like to keep reading. If yes, then that entry might deserve a thumbs up.

Announcement: The 7/16 Writers’ Challenge
Last week I left open the possibility that we might add a second round to the first ever Spec Faith Writers’ Challenge, creating a poll for the entries that received the most thumbs up so that readers might decide which is their favorite. I’m not closing the door to that possibility, but I realized that the entries posted later in the week need some time for readers to read them.

Writer Time: A Short Writing Challenge
Here’s the way we’ll set up this first ever Spec Faith writing challenge. I’ll give a first line, and those who wish to accept the challenge will write what comes next–in 100 to 200 words, putting those in the comments section of this post. Readers will give thumbs up to the ones they like the most, and, if they wish, they may give a reply to the various entries, telling what particularly grabbed their attention.
