Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! Hello there, EnterName5312! This isn't bad. It's a simple story about looking for your friend at very weird party, and your descriptions as meandered through the crowd were good. It was a little more telling than showing though. If you want to check out that in more detail, click on this: ""Telling" Vs. "Showing" - Part 1" It's really just a matter of using more adverbs and adjectives in your stories to be more descriptive. As far as you saying you're a bad writer (I read your port intro), that just isn't true! You're still young and you just need to learn the ropes a little more and create your own 'voice'. That takes time. Some people write for years before they create their own voice, or style. Just be patient! I'll say this: since I joined this site, my writing has improved a LOT! I've even managed to get 12 different short stories published by 8 different publishers since I've been here! A couple of tiny niggles you might want to check: He responded by yelling back, "Where's your invite(?)" 'The waiter('s) arms moved so fast...' Oh, and by the way, I use to enter this contest quite a bit, so here's a little hint if/when you enter it again: the owner/judge, Arakun the Twisted Raccoon really likes surprise/twisted endings! Trust me on that! Kee ponw ritin gon, my friend, and welcome to WdC! If you like to write, then you're going to love it here! PS-You might want to get your bioblock (biography) set up so we can know a little something more about you (hobbies, favorite books/authors, location, etc.), but that's up to you, of course. PSS-And since you’re new here, perhaps you’d like to check out "Noticing Newbies" and introduce yourself to the rest of the community if you haven’t already.
PSSS-If you want more exposure for your items you can put them on the Please Review Page or The Shameless Plug Page under Community on the left hand side.
