We Have A Winner!

What a close competition. Our 2015 Spec Faith Winter Writing Challenge came down to a 2-vote difference!
Rebecca LuElla Miller on Jan 26, 2015 | Series: 2015 Spec Faith Winter Writing Challenge | 8 comments

2015_Spec_Faith_Winter_Writing_ChallengeWhat a close competition. Our 2015 Spec Faith Winter Writing Challenge came down to a 2-vote difference! We had four fantastic finalists to choose from, but in the end, two that pulled ahead.

Congratulations to our winner: Bethany A. Jennings. I’ll be contacting her privately to arrange her gift card from either Amazon or B&N.

Our second place finisher, nudged out by a measly two votes, was Janeen Ippolito. All voting results should now be visible in the poll.

Special thanks to all of you who participated: the entrants for sharing their stories with us, the visitors who gave initial comments and thumbs up (as best as you could, considering the site problems), and those who voted in the poll.

Contests like this are fun. The thing that continues to amaze me is how varied the stories are even though they all begin with the same first sentence. What a creative bunch of writers we have participating in these challenges! Hope you all enjoyed the stories.

      Thanks, Hannah!  Good job to you too!  🙂  I do hope to extend my little piece into a longer short story someday.  It has some pretty nifty twists I want to put into it. 😀
