What is this? (Please read first!)

[Irene]

Everyone knows that practice makes perfect and that this group is made to help us writes become better ones. So, in light of that I will be posting prompts/challanges on a weekly basis and at the end of the week I will give constructive criticism on the completed peices that will be posted under the prompts/challenges . There will be one to three prompts/challenges each week for a variety of writers, poets, novelist, journalist, extra. There will also be prompts/challenges to help us improve our writting skills in general. I hope this will be fun and that alot of you participate. Please follow the rules and guidelines that have been posted, failure to follow them may result in
disqualification.

Okay, be careful with your grammar but yes it is fine. I'm not good with tittles, sorry. Please don't take offense to this, but is English your first language?

[Rishika]

yes english is my first language, any mistakes in that?

[Irene]

Okay, they way you phrase somethings made me wonder, no big deal, it's just different. The only things I saw were you needed to make her name possessive in places and minor mistakes. I can fix them if you want.

[Rishika]

please do , it would be a great help

[Irene]

Try this, your tenses got a bit confusing:

This is a story about a girl named Linda, everyone lovingly called her by her petname, Lindsey. She had two sisters and one brother who loved her very much. Lindsey's parents were never at home, they were busy with thier business travels, so she ran the house on her own. Having finished her collge and graduated she is now working in a repuated office. Her brother and sister study while she works her job, to bring money home for them. While working she falls in love with Bedros , who didn't love her, he only wanted to take advantage of her. Lindsey had a soft spot for him, they grew close and she confided in him. She didn't tell her family about this; Lindsey had one best friend, Mia , while she was home she got a call saying that her mother and father met with an accident, utterly down, she wanted to know who it was. Seeing it was Bedolros who killed her parents, Lindsey never knew that she could fall for such a guy, yet...wait and see what happens to Lindsey and her beloved family.

[Rishika]

[Irene]

A bit yes, it happens with inexperienced writers.

[Rishika]

Due to complications the writing prompts will not be up today (if you didn't notice) but will be up Monday at the latest. Sorry about that but hope you have a great weekend!

To Irene - I just read the directions for doing this and apologize for not having followed them before. A bad habit in many ways, not stopping to read the directions, although it can be a time saver.

I only want to participate and add some content. I'm not looking for anything in particular. I'll read your comments if you make some but don't feel like you have to reply to me.

Thanks for doing this.

[Irene]

It's okay, the directions a super important in long pieces but it's okay if you mess it up. Well, the purpose is to get writing critique help so I will reply but glad you like them.

[Irene]

Hey guys! If you have noticed there haven't been any prompts lately; but there will be soon. Due to issues in my life outside of here I was not able to continue putting them up but everything is returning to normal. Hope you all enjoy them and I am open to prompt suggestions anytime :)

[Isaac]

I like free write prompts. :D

[Irene]

Thanks for the input! I will be sure to put one up this weekend :)
