Finished my short story  |
|
I wrote my first short story not long ago and entered it in a contest on the Accentuate Writers Forum. It was fun writing the story. Everything flowed smoothly and I like my characters alot. I think the story makes sense and sounds alright. So far I've got good feedback.
I know I won't win the contest, but I can learn something from the experience. I'm trying to become a better writer and entering contest and receiving feedback is a way to accomplish that goal.

sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | I haven't had any stories published yet, just articles. If I make it into the top three for this contest my story will go in an Anthrology and be sold in real book stores. I think that is very cool..lol.
Good luck getting published.

2. thebohemianheart (2701) | 1 year ago | Good for you! Exposure sometimes is worth more than winning. But, the fact that you put your writing out there for the world to see is a big step in itself. Keep writing, keep entering contests, and keep learning! Congratulations.*S*

| 6. jmarieh69 (74) | 1 year ago | You have a great point. Getting feedback from others is a great way to learn and improve your writing. I know that I like it when someone will tell me what they thought about my work. It doesn't matter if they liked it or not; the feedback is invaluable.
| |
| |
|
|
sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | Yep, cause we can learn from the bad comments as well as the good. Sometimes even more so. If somebody tells me something they really don't like I can investigate why and try to improve.

7. 1grnthmb (1557) | 1 year ago | This is good that you submitted it. Eveb if it wont win any prizes. My wife and middle daughter both love writing. I am waiting for Jenny to be a famous writter some day. Lori has no interst in publishing and does it just for her own enjoyment. I think she writes wonderful stories. Both her and Jenny are very imaginative in the stories.
But back to you. Once again it is great and you probably feel good about it.

|
sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | I do feel good about it. I've been reading all the others stories that have been submitted and mine isn't too much worse..lol. Just have to see what happens.
Your wife and daughter might want to check out the accentuatewritersforum. It's a great place for writers, no matter what level they're at.
