I Finished my first Writing Battle! What an Experience.

The excellent feedback from my peers will be invaluable. My story had some good points that survived consistently, and the parts that need work came through strong but clear, so I have a basis to make improvements.

I will post my story after tweaking the spots I agree need fixing. Because it was a fun story to write and utterly entertaining (to me anyway). And now I can make it better with all the great suggestions. Some feedback, I didn’t agree with. And that’s okay. It’s my story, and peer reviews are subjective. And I am so joining the next one!

My genre draw (you draw tarot cards for the genre, subject, and character – and can redraw and remix them up to a point before the deadline) was Cannibal Comedy, one I’ve never even heard of let alone attempted to write. Now, I’m very familiar with the nuances, though comedy is really hard! My story tended to be more on the dark side, using irony, and tongue-in-cheek.

My character was the ferryman, and the subject was a masked party. The story… The Passengers. Stay tuned.

My blogs are me, coming up for air… When I have musings I want to share… When I think, hey! You might care about an idea you also might share.

D. L. Lewellyn’s passion for writing began in 2020, following a summer of voracious, lockdown-induced reading in her favorite genre, paranormal romance. Besides her self-published books, her stories have appeared in anthologies, and more novels are on the horizon. Not surprising. Anyone who knows her will tell you she’s a dedicated multi-crafter. A peek inside her colorful, cluttered studio also gives you an idea. She enjoys blogging, chatting with indie authors on her Spotlight, and watching classic movies with her husband—a bowl of popcorn on her lap and her rescued fur babies at her feet.

“I cried, I laughed, and I was angry. The ride was so worth it! This series was my introduction to reading this genre. I have found this to be some of the best writing, story telling and follow through on all character paths of any prior reading of any genre.”
