Postcard Story

A postcard story is a story of up to 500 words. It can follow a conventional beginning, middle, end structure, or it could be more freeflowing and fluid. It’s a great form for writers to practice and hone their technique. The only rule is that it DOESN’T GO OVER THE WORD COUNT!

(And the word count doesn’t include the title).

This year, I’m judging The Word on the Street SaskatoonTeen Writing Competition:
