Unfortunately, I did not find out about the
Creative Story Writing Competition taking place at
1001 Inventions until after the deadline for participation had passed, but the
guidelines are worth taking a look at anyway, especially if you are a teacher, a homeschooling parent, or a writer who simply needs a burst of creativity. The guidelines provide you with a list of eleven figures from the
Golden Age of Muslim civilization. The idea is to choose one and write a 5,000-word story that includes the character. Historical accuracy is encouraged, but the rules also allow for some artistic license. I can definitely see a story like this making a nifty book for kids or even turning into a full-length novel.
Did you participate in this competition?
If so, tell us about it by leaving a comment below.
