If you’ve ever wanted to ask me a question, step right up!

That’s right! I’m back with another writing competition!

I’ve been a busy little author this week. I’ve plotted out chapters and scenes, fleshed out characters and my world, and pondered how to make my characters suffer, develop, shine, and dazzle readers and myself when they perform on the page.

‘Half boy, half god, all hero.‘

My sister has been nagging me to read this series, and I finally got around to it. And it. Was. Amazing.

My little sisters are great. I can always count on them to be supportive—and… and brutally honest. Painfully so, sometimes.

Sometimes, I sit down to write, and everything just flows. Other times, just thinking about writing makes me want to curl up on my bed and go to sleep. And recently, that’s how I’ve been feeling.

Stuck.

When book one has lasted twelve whole years… yeah, that’s all I got. But, uh, anyway, I’ve read every single book in the series, every one of Tui T. Sutherland’s spin offs, and here I am, giving it a review. (And maybe one or two spoilers… but they’re hidden, so if you spoil anything, that’s your fault!)

Love is in the air, and what goes better with love than a little competition? If you think you can write a winning Valentine’s day story in 1,000-1,500 words, enter! And win the ultimate prize: Bragging rights!

After telling her sister about her trip into the Black Forest, Clementine tries to subtly bring up the Foxes to her dad over dinner— and immediately wishes she hadn’t. The mention of the riffraff that lived in the forest surrounding her kingdom brings up awful, awful memories, of the death of the late king of Moonflower Valley.

After meeting Clementine, Flynne races through the forest to tell her best friends. As she nears their home, though, she stops to reminisce about how she met them. She’d never forget that day…

Nobody thinks a single action has the power to completely alter the course of their lives. Clementine certainly didn’t. But one day after school, she pops into the forest on her way home- and meets someone that will change her life forever.

I’ve talked a lot about just writing in general, but my Work In Progress is still very much a mystery. So let’s uncover The Secret of Moonflower Valley…

Happy 2024! As promised, today I’m revealing the winner. Come discover the winner and read her story.

I was poking around the internet with my trusty Bing AI bot, when all of a sudden it gave me a poem. Come read it, and hopefully we can find out if Bing made it up, or if someone wrote it.

Have you ever read or written something that’s just so fancy and beautiful and… simply wonderous? Yeah. Same. But did you know that it has a word? Oh yeah. Introducing: Purple Prose.

This competition was quite a wild ride! A perfect way to end the year.
