RE: New Year - Entry to Art Prompt Writing Contest

in #writing • 7 years ago

Thanks for reading!

I have that problem too. I struggle to get to the 200-500 but after that it all gains momentum and I end up with 2000+ words before I finish...

Thanks for the advice. I'm aware I tend to go with rather pompous words sometimes, maybe because they're usually closer to Spanish and French (?). I'll try to be more careful. Also, I hadn't thought about the title issue, thanks for that too!

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

    Yup, I like that title much more.

    I noticed the thing about the pompous words because I do it a lot (though I do it because I'm pretentious, and I do it in Spanish rather than in English). It can end up happening because of familiarity with other languages.

    It's not strictly wrong and it plays into building a style, but you might end up typing "it was an obscure night" rather than "it was a dark night" and stuff like that... But hey, that's what the Block is there for, to help us aspiring artists improve.
