Tell us a story. You have 20 minutes to write it--Go!


Hook your reader Ask yourself: "Would they want to read more?"

Lead them up, up, up the skate ramp with you Ask yourself: "Are the events keeping my reader truly interested?"

Bring your characters to life Ask yourself: "Are my images and $100 words as spectacular as "My Baby Sister" was to read?"

Make your ending stick to your reader like peanut butter! Ask yourself: "Will my reader have a hard time forgetting my story?"
