This is an example for Writing Contest #3 written by Grace.
Hey, Guys! I, the writer, Grace-
"What! She's a writer? Ha, she's a writer! What does she write? Scripts for Dora the Explorer?"
Very funny, but no I don't write little kid shows. Instead I have written a story based on the Writing Contest #3 that I'm hosting.
"Oh, I understand. She's doing his so she can enter her own contest. Of course she's going to choose her entry for 1st place."
No! My entry will not count. Don't worry😊, and enjoy!
Her nimble fingers pressed the keys. Her hands flowed up and down the board bringing music to her ears. She gasped air in, as if to breath in the notes. As she pressed the final key, she fell back.

Notes
Solene likes to write stories. She writes stories that she knows will never happen to her. Stories that somehow give her comfort knowing that at least it happened somewhere... Not exactly in real life, right? But being the fantasizing weirdo as she is, she decides to imagine herself as a character from Letters to Juliet and writes a small note, then places it inside a book. It was a crazy for her to do so, but somehow she felt like someone actually was going to read it and act like her genie and grant her all the things that she wrote. ha. haha. hahaha. As if that's gonna happen anytime soon. {To the Hopeless romantics who look for love in books} {To my british friend---Happy birthday!} Please do comment (I'll take on the criticisms)Complete
30 Days, 30 Stories: A Writing Challenge
This is a 30 day writing challenge, a collection of short stories. I've always been a world class procrastinator. The goal of this challenge is to get me writing regularly and, hopefully, break me of the perfectionist thinking that often paralyses me. The Rules: 1. Write and publish 1 short story (flash fic, vignette) per day for 30 days. 2. Stories must be at least 100 words. 3. They can be of any genre or subject matter. Like a lot of writers I have notebooks lying around full of random story ideas. Most of my older ideas are for novels and screenplays. Been going thru my old ideas and picking out the ones I think lend themselves to the short story format. I'm also working on coming up with NEW ideas that I can use here. Never been good at using prompts, but this is a good opportunity to experiment with those. All the stories here are original works written specifically for this challenge. They were written on the day they were published unless otherwise stated. Any similarities to other writers' work is purely coincidental. Thanks & enjoy! ~Laura, 20 Feb, 2018Complete
Inspire: Book One (bxb) ✔️
Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.Complete
Collapse: Book Two (bxb) ✔️
Book Two of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** SALEM LUNA: Does anyone ever feel like they're riding a mechanical bull that is never ending? No matter how many times you get thrown off the thing, you appear right back on it? No? Just me then? See, I have this best friend. Former. Best. Friend. It's taking my brain a while to get used to it. Whatever. I'm hopelessly in love with him, and I tried desperately to admit my feelings out loud. So, I did. Raven Fox told me not to love him, and the look he seared into my skin when he said it was now branded into my brain. Now we're on the university book club Christmas retreat. Who did I get roomed with? Raven because of course I was given the bird. The damn bird that didn't love me in return. Which would have been fine had he not looked like the idea disgusted him. Six months have gone by since that day, and our tension is growing with more animosity each second. Now, we're doing activities together, and Christmas is my favorite holiday. He's not screwing this up for me. After a snowstorm starts hitting, though, I end up stuck in the middle of nowhere, out of gas in my snowmobile. I'm terrified as the wind starts picking up and snow starts whipping my face. I thought he wasn't listening. That he didn't care. So, why did he become the one to save me? Why does he look so distraught? His words say one thing, but his eyes are telling me his words are lies. Raven is lying to me. He loves me. But he doesn't want me to love him. All I want to know is why because I can't breathe without him anymore.Complete
Astrid
Carter slowly walked towards me, butterflies swarming in my stomach, filling every inch of me. "Assi." he grabbed my wrists, and made me look at him. "Who was that song about?" "You know who." "Was it... about me?" "What would you say if it was?" I cocked my head to the side, our eyes staying connected with each other. "I wouldn't say." he moved closer to me, towering over by the slightest bit as his breath surrounded my every nerve. He leant down, took a sharp breath and connected our lips. - Astrid was a beautiful girl, who had lost her sense of who she was and where she belonged. She went through something traumatic at only 14, but no one noticed. She moved to Roseville for a fresh start with her best friend Kaitlyn by her side. But Carter notices. He was a "bad boy" with a heart of gold (ik it's cliché) . He never let anything slip by him. He doesn't say anything as their personalities clash and they hate each other. You know what they say, there is a thin line between love and hate. Will these two step over the line? But sometimes, running away from your problems doesn't go down unnoticed. The very person Astrid ran away from is after her, and this time, the consequences will be worse. -- This is an enemies-friends-lovers book and they become friends early on because I find it difficult to write going from enemies to lovers so yeah. *unedited book* #1 in talent show (29/02/24)Complete

"Loving u with a Dove's Heart" // JJ Maybank OBX OuterBanks.
"How do you feel?" "I'm fine... u?" "I'm fine if you're fine" ●_________________________________________● "Thank you my good Captain" "Just for you, my mermaid of my seven seas" ●_________________________________________● "Thank u" "For what?" "For loving me and for being safe" "That's not hard for me" ●_________________________________________● "YOU PROMISE!" "WELL, AND IT SURPRISES YOU SO MUCH? THIS IS WHAT I AM!" "No... your not" ⚠ New writer here! ⚠ [Started: November 3, 2024] [Ends on: Will see'] Small note and big at the same time... ⛇☃ First off, this makes me really, really excited! 😍 My first published story, but it's not the first one I've done. The first one I dare say I consider the jewel in my crown of stories is my "OUTERBANKS SEASON 4" Yep! And don't worry, it has nothing to do with the treasure that ultimately led to JJ's death. This treasure for my own season is one I'm creating from scratch, since I'm basing it on historical factors. The beginning will be the same as the beginning of the 4th season but I'll change everything in the first chapter. Spoiler, Kie won't even be JJ's girlfriend anymore, Jade, my main character girl, was a big blow to him. That's what hurts me... but hey, JJ won't die. We can't have everything in life. Why am I saying all this? "Loving u with a Dove's heart" is a story to promote my 4th season of OBX, which I plan to publish when I finish this one. Anyway, I talked a bit about this in the introduction of this little story. I really hope you enjoy this and feel the story as if you were Belle. Enjoy and stay safe. ♡ 𝐋𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝒮𝑒𝒶𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒 ®Complete
Love Between Galaxies
Side story to Sing To My Heart. You don't need to read it first to understand the story but this is the more expanded story of the side love story from Out of This World. I just really liked this idea and I wanted to give it more of a story than just those few musical numbers. The original idea of the show was from @OneArtsyGamer03 Star crossed lovers is a trope as old as time. There are many stories based on this trope with all of them being referred to as a take on Romeo and Juliet. I never understood why this trope was popular or why there were many versions. Royal and Commoner. Human and Non-human. Rival clans. I always wonder why these are so popular. Not to mention they must be so sad if you actually lived through it. Growing up, I was never really allowed to leave my castle so I always read these stories. However I never would have expected to be living on my own. It's almost surreal but I know better. After all, not all stories get a happy ending. And who's to say mine will get one.Complete
