Writing Prize News

Last week we asked you about writers and editors working together to improve the presentation of stories submitted to The Ink Well. Our friend @ylich in the Literatos community has published a Call to Action explaining how the arrangement would work and why it is important. Please reblog or tag anyone in the comments that may be interested in helping (remember to vote for @ylich's post, too).

The Writing Prize will be launched on Sunday 20 December 2020.

Your Help Needed! HBI shares for comments

For Writing Challenge Season 3, The Ink Well is going to have a Fast and Furious Festival. There will be a new prompt every day for twenty days from 11 January to 31 January. So exciting!

Each day will look at a different aspect of writing. For example, the prompt may be an image and you will be asked to use it to create a setting for a story in 150-300 words. Like this:

Another day, the challenge may be to write some dialogue, or to describe a character. In the second half of the challenge, The Ink Well will post some basic details and ask you to develop them in a quick story. There will also be some editing prompts, too.

So now, in the comments, tell us any ideas you have for prompts or challenges that we could include in the Fast and Furious Festival.

It's been a really hectic week tho, lots of things happened but am glad to finally have a settling down, you know, just some time for myself. It's time to pick up my pieces and continue. The initiative is amazing, will be anticipating "fast and furious"

Thanks a lot for the support, feedback and shares! Ha, ha, ha.

I like the idea of taking aspects of fiction into the challenges. Making the best environment is necessary. Writing dialogue is one of the most difficult things for fiction. It needs to be compelling and add depth to the characters and so many other aspects.

Maybe another ideas could be giving a different ending to a preexisting story. That also gives you the needs to use the elements given by the author in a different way as to give a smooth transition for finishing the story.

Another one could be giving a video prompt to write something about it. Using the same ideas there. For example, if the video lacks dialogue, it could be writing dialogue that conveys the emotions shown by characters in the scenes, and so on.

Haha, finally a story this week 😁!

Some good ideas for fast and furious - do you have any links to potential videos we could use?

Yes, ha, ha, ha. I have the story for this week. But I'm editing. It's very long. 😅

Hmm... Not exactly, but I can look up for some short films that could work just fine for it.

The reading and observation of @agmoore for my story was great. I appreciate her criticism because it is the way to improve my writing.

Thanks also to @jayna who in other occasions has read me, and with her post tips I have been able to advance new stories.

On the other hand, my week has been quieter. I have bought fuel for my car after several hours in queue. I have also solved several family problems. My Christmas spirit has arrived, hahaha. That is good news for my health.

I read @theinkwell and it's amazing what the future holds.

Greetings to all. Thanks for this writing workshop! The experience is unique.

I think it's a very good initiative to have the help of editors to improve our presentation. I'm one of the first who often feel that I make mistakes in the English translation. I have basic knowledge, but with the help of the editors the publication is cleaned up, I can even improve my English and enhance that skill. That they get 10% of the publication as a profit seems to me a good way to pay for their services.

As for the challenges I would propose and can improve my idea of writing with the style of a particular writer, read his narrative and try to use his way of writing. Could a reading space be introduced to analyze and see the benefits of narrative?

Thank you again, it is a pleasure for me that you have enjoyed my story. I can say that I liked the story of @gilliatt The Island, it was really funny and I find it very entertaining, it made me laugh in many scenes.

Agradecida con @theinkwell por la invitación y por tan interesantes iniciativas, espero poder participar en ellas.

Mi semana ha estado entre dulce y amargo, por un lado la época es propicia para traer al presente recuerdos de un pasado bonito y por otro es inevitable no sentir tristeza porque esos momentos nunca serán iguales; el espíritu navideño está siempre presente, pero en mi país se transforma, transmuta, tiene connotaciones y colores diferentes. Sin embargo, tratemos que nunca se apaguen en nuestros corazones las luces de la NAvidad...

Thanks a lot. I think you can find online tools to help with the grammar. But what really helps improving it is reading a lot. So, you're already making a good job taking a peak at the posts. 😄

Hello, friends, this week has been very special for me, among other things because my son turned 18, which, according to Venezuelan law, makes him of legal age. He was born on December 21th, the Spirit Day of Christmas. And we spent pleasant moments together in a perhaps atypical way: We stayed together watching an anime (which I recommend) called "Cells at work" (Japanese, with Spanish subtitles) in which they present the human body and its elements are characters. White blood cells are seen talking while they are going to fight with the invading viruses (corona virus ... oooohhhh) and a red blood cell runs by carrying its little bit of oxygen for the cells. At 12 o'clock on the night of the 20th I gave him his birthday greeting, we continued to watch animes (and the "live action of Aladdin") we drank ... (No, did not drink wine but...sardine head consommé) and go to bed ... at 4 am

What a lovely way to celebrate your son's coming of age, congratulations to him and his family 🎂 🍰 🍾 ❤️

A suggestion for the "Fast and Furious Festival": Propose some moment of real history so that in that context we develop a fictitious story ... mixing real characters with other invented ones. Something like: "Create a romance for Napoleon just three days before the Battle of Waterloo"
