![]() Welcome to The Horror Closet's first, exclusive writing competition: Writers Unleashed™. We’ve been planning this for a long time and we believe we are now finally at a place where we can host it properly! ![]() In this competition you will be up against both the experienced & beginner creative writers of this forum, week after week, as you complete the challenges and are scored and ranked by the judges (TheCheetahwings and GhettoSpiritMedium) and the final judge and host, (SnazzyShadeEmily).The last writer standing, is the winner. We hope you choose to sign up for Writers Unleashed™ today,and join us for this competition, and to grow as a writer. You don't need to have any experience at all to atleast try, so we hope anyone with atleast a smidge of interest gives it a shot. The challenges will be posted weekly. Round 1 comes this Friday Night, due Thursday, December 10th at 12/11C. Most rounds will be posted Saturday but since it's Round 1, you get an extra day. Use it wisely. Results come every Saturday night starting at 6/5C and running two hours. I'll post the next round shortly after. The round themes will not specify a genre, so feel free to do whichever you want as they will all be graded fairly using the same basic scale.

Thank you for the constructive criticism and yes i did have a hard time with this challenge. In Marybeth's bio it stated she was a stay at home mom but she was longing for the days to work again so i wrote in that her husband lost his job so she decided to work at Walmart, she felt alone and scared that her husband was clearly abusive to her and took the kids so she wanted to forget about the night, going with Linda since down the line we find out he does more to her. Also them going back in the store may seem stupid but Mary wanted Justice for Linda and it was like a moment for her where she became strong and needed to end this quickly. But thank you for the review and i know i'll do better in round two.

Pleased I didn't do a horrible job because I'd definitely say that genre isn't in my wheelhouse so to speak. |

I casually wrote my entry in 2 hours super quickly & turned it in to go to the bed so I didn't really use my week 2 plan & expand and just rushed through it so. Lemme serve that outline & thoughtful planning next week |

Thanks for your input omg!!!!! LOL I do understand your qualms and yeah I agree with most of your points! Was going for a crazy Machete vibe mixed with Battle Royale and just mashed together in a Walmart lol. Now that I think about it, the plot really was pretty thinly sketched but really that was kinda my intention, like it's really just pulpy hilarious fun which I think I achieved. Overall, pretty pleased with my entry nonetheless but will definitely try harder next time (finals aren't in the way anymore YAY) |
