Dpoll 29: Do you join writing (story, tale, poetry) contests?

As I joined Steem I thought this platform was about writing.

You might find me naive I'm telling you this but that is why I joined.
The reality is you hardly find writers and readers here and the contests hosted are not doing well. Many writers left after the latest HFs and a part no longer writes on this platform.

There might be only a few writers (authors) left but.... here everyone can be a freewriter.
@mariannewest provides in a daily prompt and you only need to write about if for 5 minutes. You can write in English, German or Spanish.
You can write stories or poems as a freewriter or join some contest.

If you have a look at @freewritehouse you can recommend a freewrite but join WE-write or the beta readers group too.
@bananafish hosts Haiku contests in English and Spanish and there was more.
@felixgarciap hosts a "Lyric and Poetry" contest and
@tristancarax the "31 sentence" contest.

I agree most contests are not easy to join especially if you are a nonnative speaker or the rules (Haiku for example) differ from yours. Still, it is fun to join once in a while no matter if you ever win since this is a way to improve your writing skills and engage.

Do you join writing (story, finish the story, poetry) contests?

  • No
  • Yes, but no poetry
  • Yes, but poetry only
  • Other... (Please, tell what kinds)
  • I know better writing contests to join (please, tell me)

Thank you for your vote. Did you ever try to write? 5 minutes is not much writing. Happy day 💕

Yes, I’ve joined several kinds, including puns (Monday Punday), but I have to be in the write frame of mind ;)

Thank you. I understand that. A certain mood and time is needed for sure. Monday Punday I find too hard for me. Happy day. 💕

Thank you for voting. I think you are better as you think you are. You can give free writing a try. It is not much different from what you do now. 💕

You can write in your language and add a translation or join the CCC contests. You are allowed to write in your own language. See @team-ccc and steemit.com/@hive-166850.

Which language you like to write in?
You can start a contest yourself too. 💕

Ik verwarde met CreativeCoin (CCC), die me voortdurend "downvotes" omdat hun commissarissen niet begrepen wat er was geschreven:)

@ili0braz That is a bad reason for giving downvotes. Writing is being creative and you cannot downvote because you cannot understand it..They did not ask you?

ze schreven in koor dat dit niet creatief is (hoewel contest KVN's meestal volgens mijn scenario's wonnen), maar geen van hen toonde hun begrip van het Cyrillische:)

@ili0braz I understand. You wrote in Bulgarian or Russian?❤️

Always give a translation in English... they rule here and are the ones too lazy to translate. ❤️

Engels is voor mij het meest administratief. En nog belangrijker - sinds mijn jeugd speel ik oorlogsspellen met censuur)

"войнушки" - kinderspelletjes in militaristische staten (ik ben opgegroeid in een land bezet door communistisch Rusland). Alle beheerders voor mij zijn - rode commissarissen:)

@ili0braz We played "conquer". We had pocket knives draw land in the sand and throw in turn our knife next drawing a line.... Who had the most won. These days it's forbidden like most games, playing Indian cowboy, you aren't even allowed to have a knife or screwdriver in your car/with you if you visit certain cities...but you are allowed to let yourself beaten up, molested or gang raped. The police/government doesn't care about that. Enjoy your freedom and day ❤️

I do joined at least one story writing contest many months ago, but I do not even remember now what kind of story it was. I mostly like reading stories. Especially in books.
