Lilli Gilliam I am currently writing for the Anne Frank Challenge! So, can I write like a biography of Anne Frank? Or do I have to go with the suggestions listed?

Oh, no. You can write whatever you like as long as it is about World War Two and expresses the terrors of war.
Thanks for joining the challenge 😊!


message 24: by Lilli Gilliam (new)

Lilli Gilliam Okay, so I finished writing my story! I don't know how to link anything, so can I have help with that? If I can't link it, my story is called Sometimes We Fall.

See above, my comment with broads as headline 😉!


Amanda Artist Cat (amandawholovesbooks) Or private message me, that's fine too!


message 43: by [deleted user] (new)

I love the idea, but I'm already working on several writing projects (including a NaNoWriMo 12k-word novellette that I don't have long to complete). 😢

It's absolutely fine ☺️! No worries, if it gets a good reception, I'll do it again sometime! =)


message 45: by Rheanna (new)

Rheanna (goodreadscomuser_rheanna) I’d love to do it.
I like writing basically anything but mainly contemporary, fantasy, or magical realism. Most of the time my stories have LGBTQ+ characters but they don’t have to.
I’m free everyday.
I generally like to write short stories.


message 46: by [deleted user] (last edited Jul 05, 2020 11:14AM) (new)

Actually, I'll sign up for a short story. I'm over 3k words out of a goal of 12k for NaNoWriMo, so I think I'll be fine.

I like to write short, dark stories (I can get very angsty, I have no clue how to write fluff) that have some sort of fantasy element. I also love creating LGBTQ+ characters, particularly ace ones, as I am in that demographic myself. I'm on in the mornings and afternoons/evenings PST pretty much every day except for some weekends and the afternoons of Tuesday/Thursday.


Amanda Artist Cat (amandawholovesbooks) Thank you all for joining 😍 💕!!


Amanda Artist Cat (amandawholovesbooks) Buddy Writing - Pairs announced!
