Namaste everyone,
I hope you are doing well, Am I too am making some progress in my way. Good things are happening to me and I hope that the trend will continue. Back to the story writing contest, in the beginning of this month I started the story writing contest (Well basically restarted) while many has appreciated the gesture and effort, the interaction wasn't there from contestants. But, I am over it.

I know better now, that to host a successful contest. One must not give up. And this is me not giving up on the mission to inspire more writers.

Now before we go further. I have another announcement to make about the winner of the contest #11. I have spoken to the winner of the previous contest and he has agreed to accepted the reward in SteemBasicIncome shares and not in Steem.

Winner of inuke's story writing contest #11 - @Bhattg

Without further ado, Lets kick off the contest #12.

The concept for Contest #12 : "A positive Change or Vibe."

Now this is something thats present in everyone. And Everyone must have experience it in one way or other. So I think it not that hard to think and put forth the example from your personal experience forwards. :-)
