AMAZING!
HORRIFYING!
THOUGHT
PROVOKING!
along
with
SUPERIOR
WRITING!
We could go on and on. The stories,
poetry, and images presented for the 2017 WEP Halloween – Dark Places Challenge
are beyond description.
From the talented L. G. Keltner, who describes in
explicit detail the fear we all have regarding strangers, but especially when it comes to our children in her tale A Dark Man in a Dark Room. Then one of our veterans, Pat
Garcia, brought the emotion with her story of a survivor haunted by horrific nightmares
in A
Dark Night of the Soul. Newcomer Carrie Anne Golden – hit a cord in all of us (bitches)
with her ode to the darkness within in Black
Heart.
Positive thinker Hilary Melton-Butcher brought us to Dark
Places through images and poetry that highlight the violent sacrifice of
martyrdom. And horror queen Laura Clipson’s tale of Darkness
details the caution we all need to take when love is too good to be true.
But
folks there are more, many, many more so
please go HERE to find the dark delights our writers are sharing with you this Halloween!
But we are all here to find out who took us to the darkest of places, and to that end I'm proud to announce the winners!

ReplyDeleteCongrat and nice writing.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all of the winners.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know how you can decide on winners. As always I was blown away by the imagination and the talent of the entries. Thank you, thank you and thank you. And yes, I do feel totally undeserving, but very grateful.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Sue,Donna,and Julie! Enjoyed reading your submissions. Happy Halloween! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners, and to everyone else. Your stories rock!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners! Every piece was a gem!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all the winners! Loved the stories and the choice was painful! Many of you really got in touch with your dark side which at times made for scary reading! Go you good things...see you in December!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners, Elephant's Child, DB McNicol and Julie! Love the variety of imaginations.
ReplyDeleteHi Yolanda and Denise - exactly congratulations to the winners - particularly EC ... I need to get round and read the others - so this announcement will encourage me to get to it ...
ReplyDeleteExcellent for Sue, Donna and Julie ... and all who entered ... cheers Hilary
Hello Everyone,
ReplyDeleteFirst, congratulations to Elephant's Child, DB MiNicol and Julie Flanders. All three of you did an excellent job.
There were some tough entries submitted. I was privileged to get around to read all of them and they all sparked thoughts within me that made me think and made me proud of being a part of this challenge.
.
It's good to have a serious,challenging, writing Publication online. I am quite sure there are other online challenges, but the WEP is something very special to me because it was my first participation in an online writing challenge.
Thus, many thanks to Denise, Yolanda, Olga, and Nilanjana. You ladies do a lot to bring this together and I appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
Shalom aleichem,
Pat G
Hello, Pat. This is one of the loveliest compliments you could pay us. It is a constant process running WEP, coming up with ideas, setting up challenges, reading often several times, and judging winners based on several criteria. But it is so worth it to meet writers, to challenge writers and at times, encourage and reward writers.
DeleteI'm glad you're proud of being part of WEP and we value your loyalty and the excellence in your writing. You always challenge me and bring out the emotion in me with your heartfelt entries.
Shalom
Denise
Thank you so much for my award! Totally made my day/week/month. :) And huge congratulations to Elephant's Child and DB for their well-deserved wins.
ReplyDeleteI echo Pat's comments above, I'm so grateful for this challenge!
Well done to the winners and to everybody who participated, such imaginations we lot have!
ReplyDeleteHUGE congratulations to the other winners - it was a tough competition and I am honored to have been selected for Runner Up. Great event!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners. I hope I get to participate next time, even if I don't, I look forward to reading the stories. I miss that this time around. I'll check out the winning story, though.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners. Now I'll tell you a secret. My story is simi-autobiographical. I have never done that before, but horror is not my thing and I needed something. When my daughter went off on me I had a hard time pulling my way out. Obviously, I was more successful than my character. I suffer from depression and so I've developed a host of key images and words to feed myself in order to remain positive.
ReplyDeleteNancy
I am so very sorry to hear this. And glad that you could find your way out.
DeleteWoah! I didn’t know that such things also happened around. I had been such a good writer in school. I was always a part of such writing competitions that took place in New York Event Venues and I also got prizes for that. Congratulations to all the winners from my side.
ReplyDeletehalloween is an incredible time to visit USA! really especially by car , because it is pretty simple to rent a car online and travel through this beautiful country!
