I also got romance and had the exact same issue with telling not showing.. I blamed it on the fact I pulled romance along with the fact it needed to rhyme. I’m new at writing and don’t even read romance nonetheless write it so overall I think I did as well as I could. Best of luck to you!

OMG...I'm struggling SO HARD with this one.
I thought I'd find it simpler because my mind tends to naturally compose in rhymes. I have an idea but I just can't get it to come together (there's a lot going on in my life). Praying for a hit of inspiration and a stream of consciousness to come soon!

Just submitted bang on 600 words. I’m a little worried that there is a lot going on in the story, but I have managed to improve it over the last few days by pulling out unnecessary detail and using the space to join the elements of the story better.
Honestly I’m too scared to send it to unknown beta readers, I’ve never done this before and I have no idea what standard the rest of you are all going to churn out, so I fear that if I send to a beta reader I’m going to become acutely aware how inexperienced I am. But I have sent it around a few family members who have helped me tweak it here and there and it’s made a real difference.

This was me exactly...horror and rhyming do not go together for me...I finally have a first draft-ish, will definitely be looking for betas tomorrow. This was the hardest challenge I've ever done, for sure.

This...rhyming (not my thing) and horror (not my thing)...I have a first draft now so that's something I'm proud of at least

I just wrote the darn thing in two hours and turned it in. I’m planning my own wedding (coming up VERY soon!) and dealing with some serious medical issues so I just incorporated both topics into my story rhymes and called it therapy. It’s pretty bad, okay it’s actually horrific … but since my genre is horror, I’m deeming that a good thing. Ugh.

I finally have a title, and synopsis that rhymes. I also have an ending hurrah! So naturally the beginning has fallen apart this is genuinely the contest where I am most looking forward to reading the forum entries, going to be so much fun. I don't think anyone from my group (81) has posted so far, but any other sci-fi rhymers out there? How are you getting on?

I have Fantasy or Fairy Tale/gullible/sleepy. It's a slog. At this point I'd rather turn into a frog.
