With the quarter starting 04/06/23, we’re focusing on Words of Wisdom where each week we will focus on a verse from Proverbs that we provide for you. As always, each entry can be in any genre and should follow all of the standard Challenge rules. Each entry needs to clearly show the lesson from each Proverb, but you do not have to actually include the verse in the entry. If you do include the verse in your entry, please be sure to note which translation you used. This is a great experiment for your creativity.
To give you a clearer picture of what we will be doing. Here is just an example, it will not be used in the quarterly challenge. Do not wear yourself out to get rich; be wise enough to restrain yourself. (Proverbs 23:4) If this were the actual topic for the week, you would be given just the reference of Proverbs 23:4. You would look it up in your own Bible and use your writing talent to show the Biblical lesson in your entry.
New Topic:
Topic 6 – Begins May 18/ Ends May 25
Proverbs 15:1 (A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. NIV)
Winners Announced June 1
This should be really challenging and hopefully a lot of fun! We truly hope our long-time members who love the Challenge and new members will all join us.
We want to encourage more of our Christian fiction writers to submit an entry. Please remember, all entries must be newly written and a maximum of 750 words.
If you have any new ideas, questions, concerns, complaints, or feedback about this quarter's Challenge format, please email Michael@faithwriters.com.
