For my first academic challenge, I have written a story for the Beyond Strange writing competition. It could be no more than 750 words long, and the main character/s could not die. Disappointing, really… There were some other criteria as well. My story was called ‘The Mystery of the Mabel Monster’. I have already written a post on that story, but this one is about the fact that it is one of my academic challenges. My story ended up getting 3rd in the competition, hooray! Now I just have one more academic challenge to do.
