2024 SEPTEMBER WRITING CHALLENGE - OFFICIAL WINNERS

✒️𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 - 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗦!
Congratulations to all the winners of my 2024 September Writing Challenge!

You all wrote amazing stories in such a limited time! It was difficult to choose because I know everyone who submitted gave their best, and I recognize the effort put into writing these stories. However, I selected your story because it made me feel something-it made me think and wonder what more you could do with additional time and a higher word count.

I hope that by winning this challenge, you not only continue to improve your storytelling but also push yourselves to be better at writing, plotting, and opening up to constructive criticism. No matter what happens, always give your best, especially when it comes to your passion for writing. Maybe you didn't get the 5-star ranking, but does that really matter? :)

For me, what matters is that you delivered despite any fears about my judgment. You committed, even before doubting yourself, and faced thoughts like "Maybe I'm not good enough," "Maybe my story won't be chosen," or "Maybe I'm not a good writer." All those doubts you had before submitting? You conquered them. You wrote, you submitted, and that is always the next step toward overcoming self-doubt and finally publishing something worth reading.

Some of you may not have a lot of reads or followers, but remember, numbers don't matter. What matters most is your commitment to yourself and writing from your heart with creativity. Keep it up!

Congratulations again! Until our next writing challenge. I'm proud of you.

Yours truly,
ArtbyKarla
