I've learnt that few clear words are better than many words in poetry, and that it's better to leave the reader wanting more instead of over-satisfied. 😂 "Invalid Item" |
Can't write a story that flows these days. Always worried, full of myriads of wrestling thoughts that border on perfectionism and originality; thoughts that make me feel like one giving a speech that should be good by all means. A speech that many are likely to hate and hate hearing me for if I made a mistake. One of such writings is "Invalid Item" I've gotten no review whatsoever about it. It's depressing. If any is kind enough to labour through its first chapter just to tell me what it sounds like, it would be a powerful favour. Thank you in advance. |
Hi Warxty - Posting your work to the Community Newsfeed is a good way to gain visibility for your writing, but there are others as well. There's WdC's official forum for review requests of all types here:
Another tip to help you get more people to visit your portfolio is to get to know folks on the Community Newsfeed and grow the number of fans you have – and fan other writers that you like. If you post on the Community Newsfeed, only folks who look at the Community Newsfeed will see your post. Many people stick to their Personal Newsfeed, which is limited to writers they've fanned or favorited. So it's important to hop on the Community Newsfeed and scroll, like, comment, and make friends. The more people that click your plus sign to favorite or fan you, the more they're likely to look at your portfolio. When you find a person or item you want to keep track of, you click the plus until you see the megaphone (making you a fan, and they get notified). Some people will even fan you back. And some folks, like Schnujo's Doing NaNoWriMo? , will sometimes send you GPs or MBs. She sends GPs to all her new fans and then MBs, GPs, raffle tickets, etc. at other random times. Adherennium Plotting something is sending all of his fans MBs this month - and he's awesome, too. (There are many others as well, these two popped into my mind first!) And of course, you should fan me because I'm friendly and helpful Doing reviews of other people's works is another great way to gain visibility/get your name out there. There are a lot of resources about how to write a meaningful review, but I'd suggest starting with looking at WdC 101's article here: "Reviewing On Writing.Com" Good luck and Happy Writing (& Reviewing!) |
Thank you for mentioning me, Nobody’s Home! If you need GPs, I'm also running an activity where if you send MBs (merit badges) to certain people, I send you GPs (gift points). A MB costs 10k, but I pay you 15k GPs for sending them, assuming they count for CRs (community recognitions--the numbers by our names...a MB wouldn't count for CRs if you've sent one to that person in the last 2 weeks, but you get a red warning, so you will know you did ). If you need to know how to send MBs, I'm happy to teach you. To see what this activity is about, check out my "Note: *Gold* Want 200k GPs? *Gold* *^*Deli...". I offer opportunities to earn GPs from time to time, so double clicking my plus until you see the megaphone will help you get notified of events because I post them on my Newsfeed. No pressure to fan me, but I do try to reward my fans from time to time. |
If you play Chess, want to run away to a SciFi world where everything is about Chess, and want a gulp of air from contemporary topics and cliches, your medicine is "Invalid Item" Your review is highly desired too. It's a 7-8 chapters short story, but is littered with adventure and fascinations all through. |
I just finished an interesting, short story I named 85. If you like foreign stories, this tale would please you."Invalid Item" |
I also got 1 or 2 posted on "Note: Hey all you dad-joke tellers! [Link To User...", though they were supposed to be posting on . . . Jeremy's note, not mine. lol
