Last night, I was lost. Well, I wasn’t lost in the city. I was lost in my thoughts. I strayed in my years which I’ve been already and tried to figure out the moments that had the most impact on who I am now. Some of the memories have too much weight, and some of them hide in the farthest corner.

We were talking with Martynas about this year, how challenging they were for us, and thought about other people and how they lived.

And this thought led us to the idea to invite our amazing community to write short stories and participate in the very first sweet.pub writing contest!

I remembered those contests from my teenage years and how nice was to be part of them!

So…

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 🎉 WRITING CONTEST is here 🥳

Short story = short RULES:

✅ Theme of the story — ‘Moment of 2023’. This moment doesn’t have to be a big thing, think creatively.

*After you write your original TITLE please copy and add this subtitle: Moment of 2023 — sweet.pub writing contest for us to know, that you are participating with this story.

Short (max 300 words) — OK ok, I’ll let you in with a bit more as sometimes it’s hard to finish right before 300, but do not cross 400 words, really.

✅ Add it to the “Short. Sweet. Valuable.” publication (after I publish, I will add your story to the contest list).

✅ ❗ Be friendly, clap, read other writers, leave comments (we will get the sense of what is interesting for others not only for us) invite your friends to participate. Volunteers for being judges are welcome.

✅ 🗓️ Contest starts from now until the end of the year (2023–12–31). Winners will be announced in January when we come back to Spain from home holiday time and finish reading stories ;)

As it’s a new contest we don’t know how many stories to expect but we promise some small gifts for a few of you (still thinking what it is going to be). Have an idea? Write us on Discord or in the comments!

🎯 And of course biggest motivation is to challenge yourself, to write daily, and to be part of this incredible live community of Medium writers.

So 3, 2, 1… The contest is starting! 🎉
