Writing Challenge Update - Week 1 Entries - And Week 2 Writing Prompt Reveal

Hi Everybody!  Welcome to the Writing Challenge update.  Entries are now CLOSED for Week 1.  Thank you for all who entered!  A list of all eligible entries is below for you to visit if you have not already done so.

Week one saw an amazing turn out of brilliant writing.  At least two of our entries had the pleasure of being #curie award winners, which is amazing!  Those folks have already been awarded far more than my little challenge prize payouts.  Most importantly, it indicated the level of writing we have to offer Steem right here in my little Challenge following.  And who knows... maybe Curie eyes will be on us next week too. ;-)

So I am going to keep this as short as possible, I had Lasik surgery (successful) this morning, and my eyes are still blurry, so I'm fumbling my way through this.  Here are our eligible entries for week 1.  It now becomes the responsibility of @hopehuggs, @arbitrarykitten and myself to come to a consensus on the winners.  Payouts will be awarded by no later than this Sunday along with an awards post.

Your Week 1 Entries, in reverse order of how they came in:

Please make sure you give all of our writers a visit, a follow and upvote their stories!  They all did a terrific job, and the judges are going to have a tough time choosing the winners.

100% of the liquid reward from the post will go into the reward pot to fund this and future events.  If you like the idea of getting artists and writers together, please give me an upvote so we can continue to put these challenges together.  

Now who is ready for this week's new prompt???

We're going a little silly this week.  If you haven't visited our featured artist's blog yet, you need to go see @fishmon.  He does a Steem inspired set of Hearthstone Cards that are a lot of fun. When I asked him about participating in the art prompt challenge, he immediately pointed out that one of his characters needs a backstory.  So without further ado....

<center> RADOWHALE

Extra credit will be given if you can put together a story utilizing more than just this one of fishmon's now 38 cards.</center>

Entries for week 2 will be open until 19:00 Eastern Time Thursday, September 14.  Please link your entries in the comments below.  I will be working on the judging format this week, so not announcing any guest judges at this time.

Entries need to contain the tag #writingprompt and be titled: Mike's Writing Challenge Week #2 - Your title

Enjoy the new challenge, go visit the entries from week 1 and give them an upvote.  Let's have another great week of writing!!!

And please be kind...
