Margaretatwood Stories

Have ever got stuck on a plot, a word, a scene or a story so much that you can't move forward? We as writers, believe everyone has been through that "phase". To counteract that stage and to boost our writing community(and the writer in us), we all need a boost, a push to keep at it. Keeping in mind, every Sunday, NewlyWrittenBooks are going to publish a writer's empowerment quote from writers across the world, to spark the writing bug within you. Cover made by the amazingly gifted @druidoflore :)

Based on The Handsmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.

In the colony of Meritt, young girls are poised to be virtuous wives at an early age. Through rigorous testing and isolation the girls are prepped and groom and for Clara, the day has come for herself to prove if she has what it takes to be an ideal wife or barren one.

#MyHandmaidsTale I am loving the series and the book, so I had to enter the contest. Short, but not very sweet.

This is 2114, and the world is perfect. At the age of 23, every citizen receives The Fountain - and injection that prevents ageing. There is no hunger, no pain, and no death. But what has been lost along the way? When Adie, 22, and on the brink of immortality, visits The Book Museum, she meets a strange woman with an even stranger secret, who might just change the way she feels about...everything. This is an entry for the Margaret Atwood #futurelibrary contest.

Clarka lives a privileged life in a world where all obstacles to equality seem to have been overcome, but her mother clings to a notion of freedom different than her own. How can she honor her ancestors and be her own person?

In a harrowing reality that is not too far off from our very own, precious resources have been dwindling down to a near non-existent, as the human population has skyrocketed at an alarming rate and has consequentially reached the maximum carrying capacity of 10 billion people worldwide. World leaders have struggled for centuries to find balance and peace among the unrest, yet it was the very formation of the United Nation of Ilyria, did restoration and order begin to occur... At a price... ***Author's note*** This short story was inspired by the harrowing truths and reality of "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood. ~Enjoy!!!

Clyde has been patient. And he hasn't been feeling like himself lately. But what can a dead man do, except wait? This short story was an entry in the Freeze-Dried Fiction Contest with Margaret Atwood.

WINNING ENTRY TO @Hulu and @MargaretAtwood 's #MyHandmaidsTale CONTEST! In an era of amnesia... I remember. Thank you for reading!

It takes a con to know a con. Or possibly, it takes a woman meeting a con to figure out she’s married to a con. This is my entry for Margaret Atwood’s Freeze-Dried Fiction Contest. Take a look at Atwood’s story, THE FREEZE-DRIED GROOM, on which this story is based and then come back to mine. Thanks for reading!
