Rhapsodist Writing Contest #7 - The Dust Cover Autobiography of a Life Not Lived (WINNER)
I need to begin this post with an apology for the tardiness of both the announcement and prize awards. Unfortunately, my life outside of Steemit required quite a bit of my time last week, so virtually all of my Steemit activities came to a screeching halt. Sometimes the world outside Steemit takes precedence.
I'd like to thank everyone who participated in this writing challenge and supported it through promotion, upvotes, and resteems. Thank you for working with me to help bring back fiction to the Steemit platform and continue to grow out the community.
The winner of the Rhapsodist Writing Challenge #7 is @amvanaken The Dust Cover Autobiography of a Life Not Lived, by @amvanaken (@lpfaust’s Rhapsodist Writing Contest #7). Congratulations on the win. The 10 SBD prize will arrive in your wallet later today.
The runner-up of the Rhapsodist Writing Challenge #7 is @dlina-v-metrah Rhapsodist Writing Contest #7 - After the crossroads. Congratulations. The 5 SBD prize will arrive in your wallet later today.
Thanks to everyone who participated in this weekly contest. I look forward to your continued participation in future Rhapsodist Writing Contests.
Rhapsodist Writing Contest #7 – The Key
The seventh challenge of the Rhapsodist Writing Contest is to write the dust cover autobiography of the life you were not courageous enough to live. Our lives are fraught with different opportunities, paths, and choices we each need to make in an instant. However, upon reflection, each of us realizes at key points, had we decided differently, our lives would have been completely different. What is the dust cover biography of that other life?
For some inspiration, please check out the YouTube clip below from the movie The Family Man starring Nicholas Cage. In this YouTube clip, Jack Campbell (Nicholas Cage) had everything which classically defines success in the modern world. He is a wealthy investment banker with every creature comfort one could possibly imagine, but a single defining moment in his life could have led him to an unlived life and a new definition of success he has never considered. In this film, he has the opportunity to live that life in a "glimpse."
Wow I am so honored to have won, Faust!
I really like your writing contests and will be a participant in the future. 😄❤️🎉
