Hello Everyone,

Cinnamon Cup Coffee is delighted to announce that our creative writing contest #SPILLTHEBEANS has been re-vamped.

Not written in stone, but starting today, a topic will be presented every Monday for you to write on. There will be a countdown timer that needs to be observed for the deadline of entries. The entry deadline for posts will end on Wednesdays, with the countdown timer at the top and the bottom of this post, guiding you to the cut-off time.

This is a creative writing exercise, therefore you can weave your story however you like, but it MUST revolve around the topic presented.

Have fun peeps!
