i know a story but i wrote it yesterday its new and its good. i want others to read it too cause its mostly about what i want in this world and i love i put my heart and soul in this story but the most part is that its a story about someone else. someone who i loved but that is gone and left never heard from again
-
-
Ok. Look forward to reading it
-
-
You ask for the best but you limit us to 2000 words.
Bad sauce. -
-
Yeah, a little bit over is fine, but I don't have that much time on my hands to read a whole novel
-
-
So I entered a story, but I might replace it with a new story if I get the time. I'm mainly focusing on getting Below the Surface typed right now so I don't know if I will. We'll see though.
-
-
Awesoem Thanks 4 entering. cya soon
-
-
Are poems allowed?
-
-
eh, sure what the hell. go ahead
-
-
lol thanks

I see contests now and again that ask for "your very best" and then give brownie points to new writes. That's kind of contradictory, in my mind. An older story has been read a lot, had suggestions made, and got edited to be better than it used to be. Unless we're plopping a story in here that we edited somewhere else, I don't see that it could be better than a polished and edited prewrite. My $0.02.
That said, I'm entering anyway.
-

Thank you for your .02$, its greatly appreciated
I guess you are right in one way, a pre-write would be more perfected, but still I would rather have someone write a new new story, even if its not perfect, a few grammatical errors never hurt anybody. That I know of at least. Maybe there is a grammar freak who commited suicide because his/her writting wasn't perfect, but I highly doubt that...
Also, why couldn't you write a new story thats your best? Its like saying you have already reached your full potential, so why other trying harder to be better?
Thats my 0.02$ so together we have 0.04$, not that there much you can do with .04$ anyway
Anyway, anyhow, it doesn't matter what it is, pre-write or new, so long as YOU think its your best writting that you could possibly do.
Look forward to reading your entry

-
may i enter a poem?
-
-
Yeah, go ahead
-
-
thank you!

how do you feel about chapters? or excerpts? because my best story is 7000 words. would you like my second best?
-
-
CHapters would be fine, just so long as its the first chapter Second best would be fine
look forwad to reading it
-
-

-

-
