NEW FORMAT AGAIN - 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.
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.
Please take a minute to review our rules if you haven't read them in a while, (https://www.faithwriters.com/challenge-submisson-guide.html), especially about our word count. Part of the Challenge is to write something that is between 150-750 words. Part of the reason the word count is so important is that if you are submitting things for publication, most have a very strict word count and will reject work that doesn't follow their guidelines completely, including word count.
If you have any new ideas, questions, concerns, complaints, or feedback about this quarter's Challenge format, please email Michael@faithwriters.com.
