Contest Entry

First of all, this has, sadly, nothing to do with the Tigers.

So, I had to write something called a 'relationship essay' for my English class this semester. Got an A on it and then my teacher wanted me to submit it to a local creative writing contest, which was a bit of a shocker.

I posted it on my blog because I wasn't sure about just posting the whole thing here, as it would be unreadable.

Just looking for some second opinions so tell me what you think. (And don't worry about being brutally honest. I can take it, I swear.)

Hey Lily
I just read your text twice and i liked it very much! applaud

I might not be the perfect person to review this 'cause english is not my mother language... obviously. Wink

But somehow i really could connect to this and i think it is written brilliantly! Despite the fact that it's a short text, i totally could dive into the atmosphere and the thoughts of your main character.

I definitely think you should submit this to a writing contest!
