Hey!
So, my first contest. I thought this might be quite an interesting one, but still a great writing practice. What you must do, is write a story about anything, but the main character must be blind. This is to promote other senses that we normally forget.
Be sure to include lots of sound, smell and touch.
Ends: 20th August
Prizes
1st - 3 Detailed reviews on work of your choice & 300 points.
2nd - 2 Detailed reviews on work of your choice & 200 points.
3rd- 1 Detailed review on work of your choice & 100 points.
Get writing!

| I'll be happy to do this one. Sounds fun. Anyone else gonna post? I don't want to post something and then no one else gets into this. It gets annoying. |

I'll gladly join. I happen to have a blind charrie named Tikaro, he's a animal usually so, if it's alright with you, could I do one about animals?
Since in your first post it just said the main charrie had to be blind. |

Hey!
Great idea. I love experimenting with different characters, I have one who's psychotic and one who is mute already. This should be fun!
Of course, I don't want to commit myself just yet since my Granparents are going to be here this week. So.... Maybe?
I'll try |

While I am already busy with two contests on the go (sorry, Blink - maybe next time), this sounds like a great five-minute writing exercise. Might try it. Thanks.
