Write Off Theme: Rite of Passage


Welcome Steemers! In spirit of Steemit's Social Media Revolution, we feel it is fitting for our first theme of the #steemitwriteoff to be about transformation. A rite of passage in a broad sense is an event in a person's life that is indicative of a transition from one stage to another. Let your imaginations run wild for the #steemitwriteoff.

  • Your Steemit post must be original and written by you.
  • It must be posted before 11:59PM PST on August 22st.
  • The winner will be announced August 23rd.
  • It can be fiction or non-fiction.
  • We prefer new but an old post will be accepted as long as it fits the theme.
  • It should be something you're proud of.
  • Photos are welcome but your writing is what will be judged.
  • Only one post per writer will be accepted.

Judging Criteria


  • Posts are judged by @truthmomma and @tralawar.
  • Our judgement will be based off of theme-relevance and overall enjoyment.
  • The upvotes and comments of Steemers will be taken into consideration.
  • Tag your post with #steemitwriteoff.
  • We will highlight our 10 favorites with the announcement of the three winners.

Such an awesome idea! I'll try to write one for the fun of it. I implore you guys to advertise this on the #fiction channel on steemit.chat as well. Tons of other writers might be interested to get in on the action as well. I hope this gets a lot of entries! I don't really care if I place, I just hope all entries get a fair shot at the spotlight, receive tons of comments from other participants, and spread creativity throughout Steemit!

Thank you, that is a great idea! I am working hard to get it out there. Hopefully, after a couple, we will get some momentum.

Wicked idea, thanks a heap for the opportunity truthmomma, gonna get started on it :)

Awesome! So excited to read it :)

I like this idea, and have something I'd like to submit, but I published it 3-4 days ago and can no longer edit. I don't want to republish while extended payouts are still going on, should I just drop a link in here to enter?

Sure, you may have to remind us as with will mostly be looking in the #steemitwriteoff

You are welcome to port your link of it in these comments if you are not able to tag #steemitwriteoff

Great idea, look forward to entering

Thanks! I hope you do!

Thank you! Hope you decide to join!

I am on it. Expect a short fiction (or maybe even non-fiction) by the end of tomorrow!

Just as an aside, I am absolutely loving these collaborations and contests. I have pumped out two short stories and one chapter's worth of work over the last week, and I'm only going to be putting out more as time permits. This and others are fantastic conduits for creativity!

I love to see that this contest is inspiring people to write! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Ohhh, now this I can get down on! I'm no photographer, so photo challenges have been out, but I do enjoy a challenging form of writing, especially one with such a broad scope! Lovely first topic, could go so many ways.....puts on thinking cap. Good luck to all!

So happy to see that you are excited about this! So are we and we can't wait to see where your mind takes us! :)

I love this idea @truthmomma I will also put 5 SBD towards the winner of this contest!

Great! Once you send it to me with a memo saying "Steemit write off" I will add you to our donor list! Thank you so much for supporting the writers!!

Thank you @raymonjohnstone the post isn't editable, but we will include you in the next post. We are most likely doing a progress post today!
