Entered September/October Accentuate Writers Short Story Contest  |
|
Well, I put my entry in tonight for the September/October contest. I don't know if the story is any better, but I do know my grammar and dialog has improved. The story probably still has mistakes, but there should be many less of them.
Anybody else joining the contest? This months first prize is 300.00 plus gettin in the anthrology and other stuff. If you do enter, good luck!

sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | The title for this one is Ice. Not very original, but I'm not good with titles most of the time. Ever now and then one will just hit me that I really love, but most of the time the title is harder than the story.

avidwhit (734) | 1 year ago | Thanks for thr BR!:) Honored I feel when a author rewards me with acknowegdement! When you say short story how many typed pages are your talking? Are they going to publish the stories online for all to read and vote on? Only 2 more months hows the suspense and wait treating you? Do you wish you where able to go baaack and change anything in the story?:)

sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | The one I entered this time was only a little over 1500 words so it was 7 pages. The first one I entered was 6000 something words and around 20 pages I believe. The winning stories will be featured in an anthrology book and sold at book stores. I don't belive they'll ever be put online through this place. I have put two flash fiction stories up on Xomba if you'd like to read them though. The names are Taking a Stand and Youth and Beauty. I entered them in a contest they are having.
The waiting isn't too bad. I knew it would be this long. I can go back and edit if I want until the last day.

sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | You should check the Accentuate Writers Forum out. There are people on there from other countries. As long as you have a paypal account you might be ok. You could ask Michy on the forum.
Don't have a link. Can't show it to anyone yet because the forum gets first rights to publish it in the anthrology if I make the top 3.

4. PearlGrace (1883) | 1 year ago | Hey sunnflr. That is so great that you are entering the Short Story Contest. I've not even thought about entering this contest. But, I need to try to find an old "longhand-written" short story I wrote a couple of years ago. I know I have it somewhere.
Can you enter the same story month after month if it's changed a little bit? Just wondering. Good luck. Hope you get that $300!

sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | Each contest has a theme you have to work with. If you could change the story enough to incorporate the theme I guess you could use the same one. Never thought about it. You should enter your story. It's fun hearing what people think about them, if nothing else.

5. mentalward (4342) | 1 year ago | That is totally awesome, sunnflr! Good luck!
What is your story about? Are we able to read it? Do others vote on it? How is it judged? I'm really curious about this and would LOVE to read your story!
I write, too, and have had a few things published. I'm always interested in reading stories from 'new' writers, especially if they get published!
Tell us more about it, please!

sunnflr (877) | 1 year ago | If you go sign up with the forum you can read it. It doesn't cost to sign up or anything and the people there are really nice. I can't give a link or anything until after the contest. If I make the top 3 the anthrology gets first rights.
