#WhyIWrite Contest Winners!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the #WhyIWrite contest! I really enjoyed reading through your entries and being reminded of all the reasons why I like to write as well. 

Unfortunately, I could only choose 3 winners. And while I loved them all, these were the entries that stood out to me the most. 

However, if you didn't win (or enter), no worries! I will host a similar contest in February that you can participate in as well. =)

And the winners are . . . 
Third Place:
Olivia! (Click here for her entry.)

Congratulations, Olivia! 

Please send me an email at christiswrite (at) gmail (dot) com so I can have your prize sent to you. =)

Second Place:
Naomi! (Click here for her entry.)

Congratulations, Naomi! I was intrigued by how you were able to explain the main reason you love to write in such few words, along with a powerful picture.

Please send me an email at christiswrite (at) gmail (dot) com so I can have your prize sent to you. =)

First Place:
Ashley! (Click here for her entry.)

Congratulations, Ashley! I was very enlightened by your unique perspective to write stories that uplift rather than discourage. And I completely agree: Although writers should write an accurate portrayal of life, that does not mean we should only focus on the negative--because by doing this, as you mentioned, we're acting as if the good things in life aren't noteworthy (and that they don't occur, which is far from the truth). Again, I really enjoyed reading this, so thank you for sharing it with us!

Please send me an email at christiswrite (at) gmail (dot) com so I can have your prize sent to you. =)

  1. I got a little excited about winning second place... :) Thank you for hosting the contest! I tried to think of a Bible verse that talked about being a witness, but I put those verses in my story-- so I thought that was cool too. :)
