Okay, for those of you wondering exactly what you'll get out of this, here is the list of awards! You will win..... the satisfaction of creativity and hard work! Yay!.... No? Not enough? Alright, enough messing around I suppose. There's a lot more to this than simply being creative! I promise, you will receive something!
First Place: A follow, a shout-out, up to five votes, three positive comments (on writing other than your entry) and your entry will be added to the AWC reading list!
Second: Three votes, two positive comments (on writing other than entry), and a shout-out.
Third: Two votes and a positive comments (on writing other than entry).
Participation: Everyone gets a vote and comment on entry, with positive feedback!
Now, I have two ideas I want YOUR opinion on! Ultimately, it depends on my schedule how I will do these, but I just want to know the general public opinion.
Idea 1: If one or more of the prompts does not get used, I will make a book out of it for Wattpad. Good idea or no? If so, and there is more than one prompt unused, should I get a vote on which one I should use or pick my own? Honestly, I want to write them all so there's no worrying that it'll be something I'm uninterested in!
Idea 2: I am currently developing a website full of goodies for writers, as well as for my own personal profile in my journey to become a published author. One of the things I will soon be offering on this website will be editing services! I am by no means a professional editor, but I consider myself skilled in the art of editing/revising, and thoroughly enjoy helping other writers. It is just as great a passion for me, reading other people's writing, as it is to write my own stories! SO! What say you, to a grand prize, where the ultimate winner gets free editorial service on one story--be it a full book, short story, anything they want--and it can be from anything of yours. Whether it's a Wattpad story, from somewhere else, or something you have yet to share, my service is yours for your choice of one piece of writing! When my website is running, most editorial services will be priced (though they will be cheaper than a professional editor because this is me offering advice) but occasional grand prizes will be offered for this service!
So, tell me what you think in the comments! I'm super excited for these ideas, and I hope to get a lot of feedback from you. Most of all, I'm MOST excited to read what you all come up with! All prompts are created by me, so it's like watching my own little plants grow to something flourishing and beautiful!
You know what's next! Happy writing, everyone!
