Happy
Holiday's Everyone!
Thanks
to everyone who participated during this very busy time of year. The challenge
was particularly difficult as you were asked to write in a science fiction
genre, but you rose to the challenge and we have some true masterpieces to
enjoy. If you haven't yet, use the links in this piece or click HERE!

of the IWSG Anthology contest had been this easy! Thanks again for asking me to
judge and to write a guest post."
Thank
you Alex. Denise, and I find choosing the winners near impossible!

WEP – HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS
CHALLENGE IS:
Alex
said, "Not only did it use several of us in the story, (not that that swayed me), there were pop
culture references and lots of humor. And presented in such a unique way!
Hooked me immediately."
A world

Congratulations
EC!

Alex
wrote, "This came across as a reporter’s story and it was so interesting
because it was based on real facts about the International Space Station, ISS
and more. Fascinating stuff."
I
think we all learned something from reading Nila's non-fiction piece.

Nila!

CONGRATULATIONS
WINNERS!
This year's entries included poetry, excerpts, and flashes that embraced the challenge's criteria.
Such
as Book
Lover's 'Earth Day'. Alex wrote of Donna's piece, "She told a solid story
about young men and what they’re willing to do to gain an audience with a young
woman. It had personality and could easily be a longer story." Donna's story made the short list!
We
agree. So many of the stories could be expanded to either novellas or books.
It's happened in the past, and it's what the WEP is all about.
The goal is to take
on a challenge, surprise not only your readers but also yourself, and turn that
experiment into a true masterpiece.
Excerpts such as
Poetry
Thanks
everyone, for an exciting December!
You're all winners in our eyes!

Now the
WEP will be taking a break
as we all adjust our lives for the New Year.
But
we'll be back in February 2016 with a new challenge!
Denise here. I want to thank Yolanda for helping me bring WEP back to life. She's learnt fast and is a fabulous partner. Thank you Yolanda! There would not have been these 3 challenges without you! And so much fun would have been missed!
