Hi there - thanks for signing up for 1Picture1000Words about a week ago. This email is just some friendly encouragement to write, and a reminder that the deadline is August 31 :)

If you need a refresher on the rules, remember you’re writing exactly 1,000 words that connect in some way to the photo on our website. Be creative! And in case it’s helpful, you can find the official submission instructions here - they’re important.

Ah, and to opt out of other writing reminders and just get notified when winners are announced, click here and we’ll take care of it.

Happy writing,

- the 1Picture1000Words team

p.s. if you’d like some motivation to write (or a way to get yourself writing more often), you could also check out Writing Club; a free-to-join writing club we run. there’s one interesting prompt every week that you can answer anonymously alongside other writers. and you can also promote your own writing in the club if you’re active :)
