An online salon for those who love wicked good prose.

Contest Fun
I believe in writers supporting writers — especially those who have just started, or re-started, their creative careers. Each month on Instagram (@sinandsyntax), I'll be featuring a writing prompt to help inspire my fellow wordsmiths at any stage of their journey. Here is a place where I will feature the best responses.
November Writing Contest
Deadline is Saturday, November 22, 2026.
November Writing Prompt: Everyone has THAT person in life—the one you hope does not come to Thanksgiving dinner. We're all thinking, "This year, please, no." Write a description of the dreaded Thanksgiving guest. Label whether it's fiction or non-fiction.
I'll pick a winner from each category. The winning responses will be re-posted on Instagram and featured on SinsndSyntax.com.
