hello @momins.
A few important points about your submission
This is your 3rd submission to The Ink Well in the space of 2 days. Our curators are volunteers with limited time available to them. We cannot guarantee that your stories will all be read if you continue to post prolifically.
You have still not supported any other writers from the community despite our requests for you to do so.
Your story is also a piece of non-fiction, not creative non-fiction. We do not see a a story or character arc, nor do we see a conflict and resolution, within this piece. Creative non-fiction consists of true stories told well. It is when an author uses the elements of good fiction to deliver a story from their life. Non-fiction is purely a factual account of an experience or event without showing us how the experience or event changed the main character over time.
You have not dropped a link to your submission in the comments of the relevant Ink Well Prompt post so we are not aware of which prompt you are responding to with this story.
You will not be curated if you are not going to be a supportive member of the community or if you do not participate within the parameters of our rules and guidelines.
Here are a few important points to note that you should already have gleaned from reading our guidelines.
Be sure to read The Ink Well community rules at the top of the community home page, and check out our FAQ about The Ink Well.
We accept two kinds of short stories in The Ink Well: fictional stories and creative nonfiction stories. We are all about quality, and we expect writers to carefully review their work before posting. Not doing so will result in low curation rewards or posts being ignored. You can see our article on checking your posts for grammar here.
You can find some great articles on story writing in our catalog of storytelling tips. This includes details on scene setting, character development, conflict and resolution, story and character arcs, and how to write great dialogue that moves a story forward.
You can find information about what we are looking for in creative nonfiction stories in this post.
And please be sure to engage in the community by reading and commenting on the work of other community members. We ask everyone who posts in The Ink Well to read and comment on at least two other stories for each one published.
I have voted on 4 posts today in this community. There is a lot to learn. I am learning. I am failing again and again. I will try again. I do not comment on posts in this community, I did not know the rules either. I will try to write better stories. Your community support is commendable.
You have mentioned a couple of times now that you have read the rules and then later said that you did not know the rules. Our rules are very clear. Please ensure that you read through them all very carefully before you post another story in the community. Voting alone is insufficient. Support requires genuine engagement. Please also avail yourself of the many articles in The Ink Well on how to improve the various elements of fiction writing. We are very inclined to support and guide our writers when we can see that they have a genuine desire to improve their writing and are putting in the effort to show what they have learned each week 🙂
