Oh my goodness, it is great to be back in civilization! I apologize for this coming out almost a week later but again, I'm working at a camp with no wifi.

There were dozens and dozens of entries this time, which made me thankful for the word limit lol.

Anyways, let's get to the results!

1st Place: Bunnygirl413 Once I Was a Child's Joy and Wonder

Your entry made me long for my childhood and miss the small things I took for granted.

2nd Place: ChibiNyx Once I Was... Alone

I love how this started off as a story of loneliness and despair but it transformed into a story of hope.

3rd Place: defyme In Retrospect

This is a story for those who can't wait to grow up. Getting old kinda sucks, so take advantage of your youth now.

And, of course, Honorable Mentions:

YandereAkermanBAE Once I Was (for a contest)

Your entry chilled me, even if it was only a sentence long!

TheNewSappho Once I Was In Love

Such a beautiful love story!

TheAvengedDreamer ~Once~

I have so many questions but I love the mystery!

zylen_el Once I Was a Dreamer

As a dreamer myself, this was a touching story to read.

.......

Okay so here's what's gonna happen for the next contest. I'm going to be at camp until the end of July so I'm just going to post the new contest sometime then. 

That way I can spend time thinking of a good contest prompt and also put my full focus into my job. Meanwhile, feel free to explore other writing contests to keep your creative juices flowing! 

My friend hannahsue-- has an amazing writing contest book if you want to check that out. There's currently an open contest!

If you're hosting you're own writing contest, feel free to leave a comment about it.

Until then, I'll leave y'all with a nice writing quote!
