At the moment, the monthly contests focus mainly upon short story writing (Short Shots/Quotation Inspiration) with the occasional break for a poem (Limericks, Limericks, Limericks) or article/letter (Dear Me).
As I've said before, many people are drawn to WDC because they aspire to write THAT BOOK. A novel. The idea that's been sitting in their head for years and they want to get written.
Recently, I've allowed entries to my monthly contest "Invalid Item" to be either a short story OR an opening chapter inspired by the given quote.
Have you considered creating a monthly official contest where entrants are required to write an opening chapter, or maybe a novel synopsis, in response to a prompt, either quote or image?
Best wishes,
Chris
