#WritersOfCoSo! #WritingCommunity!
Have you read the 2024 Winners of the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest? This is a good reminder to have fun sometimes with our work.
This year's top line:
"She had a body that reached out and slapped my face like a five-pound ham-hock tossed from a speeding truck."
(And you know I'm gonna dare you to write the worst line you can, too. Wouldn't it be hilarious if, in trying to write badly, you stumbled onto your best work?)
@MLClark I've submitted to them a few times in the past. Even made it into one of their books when they were still doing books. Lots of fun.
@MLClark Ah, the years I had my students submit.
