Yes, I really did name the thread that.

Ok, so I've mentioned a few times that I am participating in a creative writing contest, but for some reason I am acting like a sissy pants lately and thinking about dropping out. The story I'm writing is different than the other submissions, so I keep wondering if readers will even like it to begin with. More opinions the better!

My question: should I continue writing the story? And why?

Drop your questions in here.

hi,

can you tell me what's coming up next for my career? I've applied to several different jobs and I'm waiting to hear back but I also have a couple more interviews with other places as well. some are within the state & out of state but all require me to move

you should continue on with your story because I'll see in the future that you will be using it as a reference.. We don't see any success in terms of it being and manuscript or going into print or anything like that. but it will prove fruitful having completed now and saving it.

...you can keep working on it and work on it slower take your time there's no rush

Child - lily - man

Yes, you definitely should continue writing your story, there is something very genuine and new about it, something fresh, that hasn`t been done before I guess, and it is a great one, might even lead to some controversial but effective discussions (Whip).


as to why

tower - letter - house
clarifier on tower: book

an official letter or message about that story will come to your house?
Maybe they will appreciate the story after all?=

You should continue writing the story. I see that you really want to be in it, so why not continue on writing it? You MIGHT not win, but I see that you will keep the story an it will help you in some way... I'm seeing that you're writing another story about this story too. Hmm, I'm seeing a second one.. second story or something that connects with this story. Are you thinking about writing another story like that? I also see another contest...

Yeah, I'm definitely not trying to publish it. I'm more concerned about whether people will like it or not.

Is one of them the Nevada job you applied for?

5 of Pentacles
5 of Cups
6 of Wands

This is interesting, because I feel you are sadly going to get rejected by some of the companies, and might have to wait at the maximum a month to be hired somewhere else. You will get a job though that will be much more suited for you talents and be successful there.

Thanks Ceridwen! I wouldn't receive a letter, but most likely appreciation would fit.

Let me know if you have a question.

I'm not writing another story at the moment, but maybe a sequel you mean? Or just a general second story, but for now I'm just working on this one.

Let me know if you have a question.

I saw that you might write another story but that story that you're writing now inspired you. I don't know what the story is about but you seem to might write another?

Ok, that makes sense. I guess as I've mentioned before I'm concerned about whether readers will actually enjoy the story I am working on now.

Go for it Bella! If i remember the cards i had pulled for you said it would go well.

Regardless of what the cards say, you have nothing to lose. Plus you would be doing something that you enjoy.

Go for it

Bella,

could you maybe pull a few cards on what he thinks or how he likes that slightly changed situation between us (a little more communicative)?

and @VacantGazer (since you don't want to me to quote)

Thanks for the encouragement! I guess I feel a little confused though because it seems like no one is...interested in the the story so far?

Sure, be back in a little bit to read for you.

10 of Cups
The Lovers
The Moon

Interesting, so it is clear he is really happy about the fact you guys have engaged in more conversation. Perhaps he is considering taking a step forward in what your current relations are? I think he is in the mind frame of deciding on what to do because whatever happened has affected him way more emotionally than he anticipated.

Is this the same guy you've mentioned in another threads? I'm assuming it is.

Thank you, Bella.
What a really nice spread!

I had a feeling that the recent development left a positive impact on him as well, and the Moon there makes sense too. Maybe he is a little confused about me being a bit more communicative.

And yes he is the one I have mentioned on here.
