I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. - Winston Churchill, speech (1940)

What is the Writers Challenge?

Just Write Bookstore has come up with the weekly Writers Challenge, a weekly or bi-weekly writing contest, as a way to motivate and exercise the mind of a writer.  We provide a phrase, group of words, a quote, an  event, or moment, and challenge you to come up with a short story or sometimes a poem, using the prompt we've given you.   Take the challenge as a personal goal, or you can submit it to us and try to win the challenge of the week. 

How do you win a Challenge?

Every Monday evening we will post the challenge.  You have until Sunday evening at 11:59, to submit your work.  Whomever we deem as having the most creative story will win the challenge for that week.  We will post the winner's name ( what ever you say it is) and the story on our site every Sunday night.

What do you win?

 You win the bragging rights of being the winner for that weeks challenge.  We'll also keep your winning submission on our web site until a new winner is picked the following week.  Best of all we'll send you through e-mail a 10% off coupon to use in our bookstore (Discount counts only against books).  

Are there any guidelines?

You can be as funny, scary, or fantastic as you want as long as you keep it under 2,500 words and the work is entirely your own.  You retain all rights to your story as long as you let us show it on our site for about a week.

Take the Challenge
