The #iwriteincolor campaign allows you to push yourself to write diversely. This means main characters who are of color. This could be BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic), this could be biracial or some combination. It can mean Native and/or First Nations. The point is to create a story from the perspective of characters of color so they can be the star and not the side-kick. This DOES NOT mean that the story has to center around race. In fact, the judges (myself and my writer's club) would prefer that the story focuses on the character's and the amazing situations they encounter. You'll need to use an approved #iwriteincolor prompt. You can choose one from below OR you can sign up for my newsletter and get the full 30 days of prompts and choose from those. They run from Horror to Romance and more. Prompts: Priya gazed up at the sky and saw it fall, like the night had lost an earring. After the third she knew the sky is falling. Chiwetel watched as the last slavers' throat was cut. All eyes were on him and he realized too late he had no idea how to steer a ship. The old auntie handed the girl a reeking pouch of herbs and the girl handed over every cent she had to her name. It was worth it. "But Josefina, isn't garlic supposed to repel vampires?" The altar boys at Our Lady of Mercy were known for their voices but when they sprouted wings things got interesting.

This contest is open - please enter!

Ellie and Kayla have been best friends for as long as they remember. What a pity that you can't pack your best friend in a bag and take her to college with you. After planning they'd not be separated because of lengthy facetimes, a gazillion text messages and a few visits, they realize they are busier than they expected and are drifting apart faster than you can blink an eye. It's been a year and they'd lost almost all contact just enjoying the fact that they love each other, although it's not enough. Then out of the blue, on a Friday evening, Ellie leaves Kayla a voicemail that shatters her heart into a billion pieces in sadness for her friend. She goes on a 5-hour drive to Ellie's college to remind her that she may be broken, but not abandoned. Word count: 978/1000

Have you ever find yourself questioning about your own existence? That even though you know you are whole but yet you are engulfed by emptiness? Life taught me that it can be so meaningful yet powerless... It taught me how to be brave yet weak. Showed me the light while being pressured by the crawling shadows in the dark. Life told me how beautiful the world is yet so ugly to live in. I have known the feeling of being alive.. And I keep feeling like dying every second since then.
