Please don't worry- there are always chances to get glimpses of those smaller moments in more detail in future books or possible bonus stories. Now for the question everyone's been asking. WHAT'S NEXT!!?? I am taking the month of November off from my current series to participate in NaNoWriMo. For those who don't know what that is, I'd like to explain. NaNoWriMo is the National Novel Writing Month. During November, writers from around the world will challenge themselves to start a new project and write 50,000 words in 30 days!

Write something and send it over then Bobby will pick you up after work when they call the results.” Drew says all in a breath. “W-what?”

said Betty. She unzipped her handbag and took out a flyer Marietta had given her. "Look, this is the competition I'm talking about. It's a short story contest that will be announced to the public in a few days. "However, this contest is a last-minute thing being held in Marietta's honor, so the timing is very rushed. They want submissions next month. "Take a look and see if you want to participate in it. Your short story is only about a few thousand words long anyway."

My manager told me about this competition all over the States when I went to submit my draft to her, it’s about writing an original novel on any genre the writer prefers.

That’s great! You decided on what to write yet?” he asked curiously, laying his head on my lap as he did so. “I could give you—”

Sometimes the guys can be a bit too much but Miss Johnson is always there to keep them in check. Once the class had settled down, we sat eagerly waiting for the day to begin.

If you haven't completed that essay yet, you have plenty of time in class. This essay is part of the competition and it counts towards your grade.

I had taken a leap of faith, embracing my passion for storytelling and sharing it with the world. Months passed, and life resumed its normal pace. I threw myself into my studies, engrossed in the pursuit of knowledge. The writing contest became a distant memory, overshadowed by the demands of college life. But deep down, a flicker of hope remained - hope that my words had found their way to someone's heart. One rainy afternoon, as I trudged through puddles on my way to class, I felt a vibration in my pocket. Retrieving my phone, I saw an email notification that made my heart skip a beat.

And as a part of our marketing, the new board decided to make a new tradition on our anniversary. It is a program that will give recognition as well as incentives as price for those who will be chosen from different writing categories.

I'll be posting prompts for story openings based on our ongoing contests, successful outlines and designs, and if you are up for it, take it and write it out~ Come back to me with your own story and I have contracts to offer~ (well, if you already have a senior editor with GN, go to them :P -------

Florian immediately understood him and took a step forward before loudly saying, “Everyone, today’s literary competition preliminary round is to write an essay with any topic of your choice.
