Hello Steemians Everywhere, I am so glad I found Steemit! I have been so inspired by the Steemit Community, that I entered into some writing contests. My work has been well received and is paying off quite nicely for a month old minnow. I even won a prize with one of my stories! Yay, me! ### Introducing WRITE IT IN STEEM! An image inspired Creative Writing Contest. Here in the beginning, I will be having the competition every other week. (Until I get the hang of it!) I am hoping to help fellow minnows, like I have been helped, to get a foot in the door. So here we go.
The following photograph is copyrighted, by a friend of mine. She is an excellent photographer here in the Southeastern Arizona area. She recently was selected for a photography layout in National Geographic Travel magazine. I saw this image and it just spoke to me. I asked her if I could use it in a contest here on Steemit, she said yes! She is excited to read your stories, and I will ask her for her input. But final decision is mine alone. Check her out on Facebook at: [Photos By ZoYa](https://www.facebook.com/PhotosByZoya) I feel this photo will make you dive into the dusty attic of your creative mind and come up with some great creative writing. ![21764934_1472119599561878_7615710531457184130_n.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVCnKxu19pmSSQB7vGLmYtE5d68Pd6YVxZZyjWxEhntqG/21764934_1472119599561878_7615710531457184130_n.jpg) [Source - Photos By ZoYa](https://www.facebook.com/PhotosByZoya/photos/pcb.1472128446227660/1472119599561878/?type=3&theater) Rules Contest is open to Minnows or any Steemian with a Rep of (50) or below.
