Winners of the 3rd Annual #AprilFools4Writers Contest
First off, thanks to everyone who participated. I had a great time (and I hope you did too). Creative exercises like this are a wonderful way to inspire us–and an easy way to have a little fun. While the winners were selected randomly, it is worth noting that all five had pretty clever contributions, so I’m sharing them here.
