 There seem to be writing contests and pitch parties everywhere in the picture book world! I just entered my first contest hosted by Vivian Kirkfield called #50 Precious Words. The contest is a picture book in 50 words or less with a beginning, middle, and end. This challenge was equally fun and difficult for me as this was a bigger concept of a story for a PB. Inspired by some of our night's living on the boat and the surprises that happen at sunrise.
So, without further ado, I present to you my entry, PIRATES DON'T SLEEP, coming in at exactly 50 words... PIRATES DON’T SLEEP by BLAIR NORTHEN WILLIAMSON (50 words) What is it like to sleep at sea? Leah wondered. “Rrrrrain!” She ran down below. The boat rocked. “HOTT!” Leah whined. ERRRRRK the hatch lifted. “Better,” she whispered. “Rrrrrain, inside!?” CLUNK. The hatch closed. Leah was restless. WAAAAAAAH! Goats called. The sun’s rising? “You’re a real pirate now,” Dad declared.
