An awesome day to all steemians!
All of us have their own story to tell. We fantasize on something that may or could have happen. May it be in an alternate reality or another world perhaps. Currently I am working with a novel that I will be publishing also here in steemit which is under the category of Fiction, Magic and Adventure.
I am a no reader of those stories and if you will be asking me who is my favorite author I can only say Paulo Coelho and C.S. Lewis because I was able to read "some" of their works.
I haven't read J.K. Rowling's work btw but I am familiar with Harry Potter Series.
For this contest I do want to help some steemians unleash their imagination in writing stories. May it be a short story or a novel with some chapters that will work. I started writing some stories in our local dialect and I was able to make some friends out it. Each time that I will be seeing their comments on how the liked the storeis that I tell it gives me encouragement to do more and level-up my game further.
This time, I do want to return the favor that I received and that is why I am hosting this mini-contest. Who knows you also have a knack in writing fiction stories that you didn't know.
For the contest here are the mechanics
Upvote the post
The theme is Fiction, with Magic/Adventure/Paranormal or Supernatural.

@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #54. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
Thanks this is really appreciated @moneyinfant.
My pleasure.

That image is a rather unfortunate devaluation of a painting by Daniel Lieske, called "The Journey Begins".
