Have a look at this interesting contest we have borrowed from Dictionary.com. The deadline is over. But if you couldn't make it, you can enrol in our blog Halloween Writing Contest right now and write the beginning of a haunted house story in just 50 words.

Deadline for your 50-word writing: 27th Oct. Send it to the Comment section or email me; subject: Halloween Writing Contest.

Be original. Haunted house stories have been told for centuries. Your unique interpretation of “haunted” and “house” is what will make your opening stand out.

Establish an atmosphere. Your opening should set the scene and establish the atmosphere. Whether it’s spooky, funny, or outright horrifying, it needs to be vivid and memorable.
Make it captivating. You have to hook the reader right away. You’ve only got 50 words to introduce your story and draw the reader into its world, so make every word count!

Should you need inspiration, you can have a look at last year winners of the Sci-fi Horror contest by Dictionary.com.
