Have you ever had one of those moments where you can't seem to move, but everyone else can? The one where you don't know why you aren't moving, but it's like you can't turn the potential energy into kinetic. You even think "Why am I not moving?" and right as you think that you begin to move again, onto where ever you were headed before you got stuck. But when you are stuck, it's not gum and you don't feel anyone touching you. It's just a greater force holding you there for an unknown reason.
THE BIG DECISION
Below is the things you need to know about what I'm submitting:
- Ryan and Nickoli
- Many people didn't seem to grasp the pace of the story, so changes/revisions I will be making is adding another character in the beginning that is a part of Nickoli's "new" life. It'll help serve as a way for you to grasp where exactly she is, and I feel it's needed. Also with more length, it'll make more sense on why it goes back and forth from Nickoli, to Ryan, back to Nickoli.
- I'm planning on submitting to both The Pedestal Magazine, Scholastic, and of course, WORD.
- My Audience will be a big large, ranging from High School students to young adults.
- For WORD, the length is up to 2,000 words, where with Pedestal Magazine, fiction is allowed up to 6,000 words, and with Scholastic it pretty much has no length (as you probably just heard discussed in class). As long as it is sutable for your audience (High School students and above) you're pretty much in the okay zone.
