The start of
a new year always feels hopeful. It’s the beginning of a new cycle and a good
time to look forward and set new goals. One of my goals for 2015 is to be more actively involved
with my writing and complete other planned creative projects. With that in mind, I was
delighted when one of my blog friends posted about a short story contest. I’ve
been writing to some extent since childhood but it’s been many years, well, more
like a couple decades, since I’ve actually written a short story. I’m excited
about the challenge of writing a story for the contest and this is exactly the
prompting I need to start seriously writing again.
The contest
is for fiction short story writing, any genre, and writers from all over the world
can participate. There is no reading fee. The prize is $100 and publication in
the Southern Pacific Review. Deadline is March 30, 2015.
If you're interested in submitting a short fiction story, you can find information and a link at Julia Hone's post on her blog, My Writing Life. Julia is an exceptional writer and the poetry editor of the Southern Pacific Review.

I’d like to
close this post with a special video for the new year: The Mountain by TSO
Photography, filmed over seven days from a mountain in Spain. The time-lapse
images are stunning and it’s accompanied by beautiful music. Makes you pause
and appreciate the planet we live on.
