E: 19/02 Win £1000 (Short writing effort)

Blulu

Sorry, not much notice, but it's only 100 words. It's the Reader's Digest annual 100-word story competition. Closes tomorrow (19th Feb) at 5 pm. Stories must be exactly 100 words, not including the title.

Although it says it's the 2017 competition, I'm nearly sure it's current and still open. I guess it's last year's comp, that finishes tomorrow - if that makes sense

[STRIKE]Is anyone else struggling to submit this? It keeps saying word count exceeded by 1 word but I've put it into multiple word counters and it's definitely 100![/STRIKE]

Never mind, I've worked it out - if anyone else is struggling, it counts contractions as two words

The apostrophe counts whether it's a contraction or not.
