Hello everyone! Rose (aka InklingsOfOblivion) here! :wave:

How are you all? After a little hiatus, Powerful Writing is back :la: Did you miss us? This week, we're going to have a mini-contest featuring a prompt. Or as I like to say, PROMPTEST.

The Theme


The theme for this prompt focuses on the nitty gritty of a dramatic scene, and developing showing not telling in story writing. Here, we'd like you to take a snapshot of a scene, and give it your undivided attention. Write a short piece that creates a still-life implying a dramatic moment. Overturned chair, papers everywhere, a particular stance. Do not describe what happened before or after this snapshot, imply it with the description.

Hello,

It looks like this group is inactive. I'm trying to kickstart a few new writing groups. Check them out if you're interested. :) 
Story-Specters
This is a writing critique group. It works off of a give-one get-one basis. Folders are routinely emptied to ensure critique requests are from active members.
Write-Fantasy
A Fantasy Literature showcase! Find fantasy writers or display your work. This group is organized by subgenre and offers dedicated folders for members' chaptered works.
Prompt-Write
New writing prompts every month!

***If this group is still active, sorry, and feel free to hide this comment

PowerfulWriting, this is what I've been looking for! I wish to become a poet, an author, a literate genius. You may be what can steer me in the right direction.
