Writers Contest Novels & Stories

WHO IS A WRITER[Wikipedia] A writer is a person who uses written words in different writing styles and techniques to communicate ideas. Writers produce different forms of literary art and creative writing such as novels, short stories, books, poetry, travelogues, plays, screenplays, teleplays, songs, and essays as well as other reports and news articles that may be of interest to the general public. Writers' texts are published across a wide range of media. Skilled writers who are able to use language to express ideas well, often contribute significantly to the cultural content of a society.

"That's amazing!" "It's a really impressive event, and though it's meant for authors, it attracts all sorts of attendees. Journalists, academics, a good mix of different people in the field. It's a great opportunity to network." I lean back in my seat. "That'll be great for you." He sighs. "I'm saying that I think you should come." Gawking, I turn to him. "Me? Is that a joke?"

When I said chaos, I meant the differences, consequenses and reasons in every article a journalist can write about. Or for those creative writers out there who writes for creative reasons, who create chapters, short stories or poetries for life. They write in messy surroundings but that doesn't mean that they'll start writing in clean places. What I'm saying is, a writer is a messy individual while writing. I'm not saying that writers are filthy persons. They're actually several types of writers but the common denominator is they make their writing places convulated when they write.

“You would know why I didn’t trust him when we first talked then. I already knew him from both my family business and from the publishing industry. So I knew that he was a legit publisher, but still I couldn’t trust him, But he was as stubborn as I was and didn’t stop pestering me until one day I started wondering what would happen if I tried to write again. I was afraid that I would be back to staring at the white sheet while the memories from the incident played in my head over and over again. But to my surprise when I opened my laptop and put my fingers on the keyboard they started moving on their own.” “You regained your ability to write?”

The anticipation built within me as I imagined the impact I could have on these budding writers, just like Professor Williams had on me. Finally, the day arrived for the first session of the workshop. Nervous yet excited, I entered the classroom and was greeted by a group of eager faces, eyes filled with anticipation. As I began to share my journey as a writer, my struggles and successes, I could feel a sense of connection forming between us. Throughout the workshop, we delved into various aspects of storytelling - character development, plot structure, and the use of vivid imagery. We shared our work, offering constructive feedback and celebrating each other's victories. It was a community

It is through this dedication and perseverance that I hope to continue honing my craft, pushing the boundaries of my storytelling abilities. Writing is not without its challenges. Doubt and self-criticism often loom large, threatening to derail the creative process. The blank page can be intimidating, the fear of inadequacy paralyzing. Yet, it is precisely during these moments of vulnerability that growth occurs. Embracing the discomfort, facing the inner critic head-on, allows for personal and artistic evolution. I have come to understand that writing is not about attaining perfection, but rather about the journey of continuous improvement, of becoming a better writer with each word, each s
