Hi @grozav. What a mess you encounter in your daily life. But yes, that charming garden is a ray of hope.
A few tips for you, as you get to know our community:
- Stories must be tagged with #fiction or #creativenonfiction, so we know whether you are telling a story made up from your imagination (fiction) or a true story from your own life (creative nonfiction).
- Regardless of whether you are writing fiction or nonfiction, we are looking for storytelling. This involves characters, conflicts, dialogue, etc. You can read more about these topics in our catalog of fiction writing tips. And you can learn more about the important elements of creative nonfiction stories in this post.
- Note also that we expect stories to be at least 350 words, at a minimum.
- And finally, we ask everyone who posts in The Ink Well to read and comment on the work of at least two other writers for each story published.
Thank you!
