How a failed contest entry turned into my first screenplay

I saw a call for a contest for short horror stories, the only caveat being that it includes “Whatever you do, don’t turn around.” So, I wrote what I thought was a compelling story and entered the contest.

I didn’t win.

Not the end of the world. Yet as I thought back to the story, I thought, I’m proud of this. Why limit it to just a short story contest?

Could it be expanded to a novel?

Naw, that didn’t

Todd added a status update: Deleting Facebook and Instagram at the end of 2025 opened my eyes to how much time and power and energy I had given away. Picking up books again is bringing back the gifts of time and power and energy. 15 books read this year already. 🥂 to reclaiming lost time.

Todd’s Quotes

“Your life AFTER Christ is not static or an end result. You are not suspended in grace above the fray of life. You are looking at God through a kaleidoscope. Your life moves, and the beads shift, and something new emerges. You are defining. Redefining. Figuring it out all over again. You are in motion, in transit, in flux. You will be sad. You will be happy. You will love and doubt and cry and rage, and all of it matters. You are human, and you are beloved, and this is what it is to be Alive.”
― Addie Zierman, When We Were on Fire: A Memoir of Consuming Faith, Tangled Love, and Starting Over
