Picture book author extraordinaire Vivian Kirkfield writes: "In 2016, I had an idea for a contest that would exercise our writing muscles and force us to make every work count. Over the years, several entries have become books, many participants have signed with agents…but what I love the most is the enthusiasm and the positive energy that this contest generates." And thus was born the 50 Precious Words challenge. 

This is my fourth year participating. My entry is below--it's only 50 words, but was OODLES and BOODLES of fun to write!


You can check out all the fun-tastic entries on Vivian's blog here.
MAYOR BOODLER THE SNOLLYGOSTER
by Carrie Karnes-Fannin
 
 
Half-snake, half-bird, all politician--
Mayor Boodler had his claws full.
 
Niceville’s do-gooders
were impossible. 
 
Pockets picked?
“Fun magic tricks, Mayor!”
 
Bank holdup? Hands in the air,
their disco went for days.
 
“Ugh, enough!”
Packing his bamboozles, Boodler slithered away.
 
Niceville’s do-gooders high-fived and cheered.
 
“One more snollygoster
out of here!”
