💫📃Intro to Essay Writing: Everything you Need to Succeed📃💫

Starts

Twice a week, we'll go over the steps to writing powerful and noteworthy essays by breaking essay writing into chunks and engage in fun exercises to build stronger academic writing.

We will create an essay together with a topic of your choice and also sample a variety of topics through practice exercises.

There are 10 total sessions that span over 5 weeks. Each session is 60 minutes long. Monday sessions will be strongly focused on lessons, while Friday sessions will focus on completing work.

Let me know if you are interested in participating, but the times and/or dates don't work out for you. I may be willing to make an adjustment!

📝Writing Contest!!

Starts

This is going to be a super fun creative writing contest! Everyone will be able to vote on their favorite prompt that you will be writing with.

We have decided on three prompts to vote on:

Prompt #1: At midnight, a hidden library appears in an abandoned subway station. Its shelves hold books that reveal alternate lives and untold stories. Describe a character who stumbles upon this magical place and the life-changing decisions they face.

Prompt #2: A monster is terrified by the scary child who lives above his bed.

Prompt #3: The main protagonist is teleported into a different time. (past) Describe the different types of people and things they encounter.

This is mostly just for fun but the main judging criteria will be story, (does the story match the prompt and is it engaging) grammar and sentence structure, (not to sound like a SAT section, but the grammar needs to be accurate) and finally, originality (you can't use chatGTP for this, I hate that that is something I need to add, but you should add your own creative voice in your writing.
The time allowed to complete your writing will be three months, so you should have plenty of time to finish and refine your writing.
The winner of the contest will get a shoutout in the R&W Subworld and have their story posted in our shoutout! Second and third place winners will also get shoutouts!
The most important rule is to just have fun! This isn't a professional contest so don't stress out about making your writing "perfect". There are no perfect papers, remember that.
We will have all rules and criteria finalized by the kickoff to the contest.
