Results of my short story entry  |
|
The first round of judging ended and we got the results day before yesterday. I made Honorable Mention. I am very happy with this for my first ever short story entry into a contest.
The judges liked my story, it just didn't emphasize the theme well enough. I will know for the next contest to make the theme a more integral part of the story. Michy will be getting me the critique and editing notes back soon. Hopefully they will help me improve my writing.
All in all, I'm happy with the results.
The next contest has started. We have until the end of October to enter. It's on the Accentuate Writers Forum if any of you are interested in entering!

sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | Thank you. I hope to do better in the next one. There are some very good writers on the forum that enter the contest though! This time there were 18 entries. The next contest will have even more I'm sure because the cash prizes are higher than ever!

3. livewyre (1011) | 1 year ago | Good for you, I often feel I would like to write a story - I feel I have the writing skills, I just lack the inspiration... I even created a couple of cartoon cats called 'bub and scrub' based on my Mother-in-laws cats, but I could never come up with a complete story for them...

|
|
sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | Do you have a blog about your cartoon? I've saw quite a few blogs where people do their cartoon/comic stories. Might be something you want to try if you aren't already.

|
|
sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | Cool. If you ever do make a blog about it let me know. I'd love to look at it and see the cartoon.
| |
|
|
cwilson26 (1610) | 1 year ago | Yes I would like to see a blog too if you decide to make one! Sounds really cool and the pictures are cute!:)
| |
|
|
livewyre (1011) | 1 year ago | Thanks both, I keep promising to write stories, but it's not something you can just churn out - so no more promises, but thank you both for your encouragement. If I get around to it one day, I will certainly announce it in MyLot.

|
|
sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | I hope you do find the time. I believe you will enjoy it once you get started with it.

sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | Sure, send me your email and I will send you the story to read. I really liked my story. I'm curious to see how many mistakes I made..lol.
I do have an idea but am waiting on my critique of the last story before I start writing the new one.

cwilson26 (1610) | 1 year ago | Thanks for sending it to me, I am reading it now. I just got done reading one of Michy's short stories. Have you read hers yet? She uploading a couple of short stories to the forum. I read the first one and it was great! After I read yours, I am going to read her second one. If you haven't read hers yet, go to the general writing discussion where she uploaded them.:)

cwilson26 (1610) | 1 year ago | I liked both of them too but the first one was also my favorite. I really liked yours too! You are a great writer Angel!:)

sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | You are very sweet. I know I'm no where near as good as some of the others on the forum, but I think it was ok for a first story!

6. gitfiddleplayer (4998) | 1 year ago | Well good for you! Is it something that you can post on AC, I'd love to read it.
| |
| |
|
|
sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | Not yet. Michy said she'd help us find somewhere else to try and sell it or enter another contest with the story. Gotta wait to see what comes of that first. If it's put up somewhere I'll be sure and let y'all know.

7. trieschman (203) | 1 year ago | Great going! I too belong to that forum but I have never entered a contest. What a great start for you! I have mostly written factual articles and don't see myself writing creatively if I can make that distinction and make sense?
| |
| |
|
|
sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | I write mostly articles also. That was my very first short story for the contest. It is fun though. You should give it a try!
