The Weekend Writing Showcase is open!
TGIF, YeahWriters! Let’s make this place your home for all the stories that didn’t make it to the YeahWrite competitive grids this week. As a refresher, here’s what we had going on!
Nonfiction Know-How: Foreshadowing
“No spoilers” is the perennial cry of the TV viewer. But spoilers can be your best friend in writing. Learn how to effectively fore (and five) shadow in this month’s Nonfiction Know-How. Get your Nonfiction Know-How right here.
Fiction|Poetry Prompt Up:
Rowan keeps your hair back while you puke but won’t ever let you live it down afterword in her essay The Aunts Go Marching. The Prompt Up taken from her essay is: “Some people are not interested in being rescued as much as they’re interested in the tragedy of their lives.”
October Poetry Slam Techtober: Point of View
If you’ve ever wondered what the difference between first, second, and third person is – and why you should care – October’s technique post is for you. Learn about points of view, narrative style, and when to use which from Rowan this month!
October Microprose:
The prompt, “I live among you well disguised,“ comes from Leonard Cohen’s song Nevermind (you can click the link to see the full lyrics and listen to the song). Your submission must be exactly 45 words. You shouldn’t include the exact prompt phrase in your micro, but we should be able to see how you incorporated it.
You know the drill, YeahWriters. Bring us your best writing this weekend!
You got rules, right?
What?! It’s the weekend. There are no rules during the weekend. You can share a post that’s as many words as you like, a piece of fiction, a poem of your choosing, or a persuasive essay. Whatever you want, you can share. Well, except commercial or sponsored posts. That’s the one rule that never changes.
While you’re hanging out with us, please remember to visit other posts on the grid, comment, and take part in the community here! That’s what makes YeahWrite the place to be.
