What an incredible
challenge. The entries were magnificent, stupendous, amazing, awesome, imaginative, superb, outstanding, and any other
descriptive adjective you can conjure for excellent. But dear entrants you’ve
made it damn near impossible to put only one at the top! Which we actually love, such superb writing! A pure
pleasure to read!
Kudos to Olga Godim, our
badge designer and Nilanjana Bose, our prompt guru! BACK OF THE DRAWER was inspired and inspiring, as evidenced
by the various tomes. . .
. . . a letter that leaves a
marriage in turmoil. . . . a notebook full of memories, a connection to someone
lost. . . . letters that revive a broken heart or detail the horrors of war. .
. . the secret to longevity or the entrance to another dimension. . . . the
inspiration for ghost stories or for the magic that saves lives or in some
cases destroys them. . . . a warning, or
the evidence that points to a murderer. Even dragons and elephants . . .
Such
imagination, and truly exceptional writing. Congratulations, all of you! But
there can only be one!

CONGRATULATIONS
TO ALL WINNERS
Those
who made the shortlist were
Thanks,
everyone, for an exciting introduction to a new year of fabulous WEP
Challenges.
Don’t
forget we hold them every other month now.
Our
next one is April
According
to the poem by Peace and Love by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
“Despair
and hope may meet within one heart.”
So, April - the month inspired by poetry.
It’s also the month of the A to Z challenge which takes our corner of the web
by storm. The WEP Challenge falls on the ‘P’ day, so here’s your opportunity to
fit into the ‘P’ category and participate in the A - Z and WEP at the same
time, if you so desire. If you're not participating
in the A - Z, go for it!
But just because April is poetry month, it
doesn’t mean you have to post poetry (do I hear a sigh of relief?) There are
any number of ways you might express Peace & Love --
. . . a love story, a call for world peace, a refugee story, the
possibilities are endless. . .
See you
then, but be sure to return for the
winner’s guest post!

love if you'd Tweet one of these:
