Valued reader: Here is your opportunity to get your writing published! The leadership at Purple PTSD wants to offer an opportunity for readers to give back to the site. As a result, the monthly Purple Tirade has been born.  

In essence, the Purple Tirade will involve readers responding to a writing prompt shared by our Purple PTSD Managing Editor. Readers who like writing can feel free to respond and send in their submission. The best of the bunch will end up getting published on PurplePTSD.com as the featured Purple Tirade Author. If you like, we can also include a shout out to your Twitter account on the official Purple PTSD and Vikings Territory Twitter accounts.

Now, we have some rules and expectations. Failing to adhere to them could lead to being disqualified from that month’s competition. Read carefully: 

The submission should be sent to tirade@purpleptsd.com

The plan is for the monthly prompt for the Purple Tirade to drop on the FIRST FRIDAY of the month. Entries are due on the THIRD FRIDAY of the month. We will then publish the successful submission on the FOURTH FRIDAY.

This month, we’re behind, so please forgive us for getting the dates a little off. With that said, here is your prompt:

Based on the opening weeks of the season, explain why the Vikings will or won’t make the playoffs. 

Happy writing! The due date for submissions is Friday, Oct. 29.
