Fair to middling

Another excellent example of the storyteller’s art came into the Global Short Story Competition yesterday.
It started in the middle of an event, things had already happened, momentum was already building and the reader’s task was pick things up as the narrative unfolded,
By plunging the reader into the story from the off, it kept the reader hooked. Done right, it can be an effective way of beginning a story.
Plenty of time to enter the competition at www.inscribemedia.co.uk - closing date October 31.
