Tick Tick Of Clock Was Haunting Allusion
Hello, Writing Warriors
In university, i got many chances to explore and dive into my personality. I gained improvement in number of aspects starting from my English skills to enaging power and there are many other things beyond this. All this improvement is due to my quest for learning. My eagerness to learn things leads me.
University is hub for contest, everyday there will be number of contests. I have missed many contests and also participated into few contest.
Why my participation is just limited to few contest?
It's answer is simple, because i focus more on my studies. Yes, contest is also a learning process but i don't know why i am lazy in stuff like this.
Story Writing Contest
Last month, Quaidian Debating and Literary society organized a trilling contest of short story writing. My friends insisted me to participate into contest because they think that i have good writing skils in short story writing. For having these positive thoughts about my writing, i am thankful to them. Whatever, writing skills i have is truly because of my blogging platforms. In all these blogging platforms, Hive helped me the most because here i learned prompt writing.
Tragedy happened
You know what tragedy happened on that day of contest? Any guesses?
Okay! Let me tell you. On the day of participation, i was at home( about 400km away from university). Just one night before, i got message that tomorrow you have to appear for short story writing contest.
My excitement for participation was dumping but i wasn't sad. I planned that i will reach there on time.
In the morning, jumped into bus which was going to Islamabad with hundred of 💭 thoughts.
Last Moment
It was constant 5 hours in travelling and i was standing infront of university,but contest has been started an hour ago. Still i had time of half hour to enter the hall.
Stepping inside the hall was looking a challenge to me, but i stepped and no one noticed me that new person entered into hall.
To make myself visible, i stood up and asked for a blank sheet so that i can start writing. Time was going out of my hand but my mind was saying that don't worry, it's just a contest.
After a glance on writing prompt topics, my fingers started scratching my head that on which topic should i write. In all these hurdle of thoughts, time was just fifteen mintues approximately and i was still chilling.
Well, long story short - i just wrote opening lines of story. So it was obvious that i could not win.
But, you know who won ?
My friend- i was more than happy for her. She truly deserved that. She has mastery on writing skills and i have learned many tactics from her.
Lesson I Learned
The lesson which i learnt from this short story writing contest is that be on time. If i will not be on time I will see things going out of my hand.
It is so awesome to see that you are competing in real-life writing competitions, and perhaps the confidence you got from all your previous online blogging experience is definitely a shame you did not win, but you still felt somehow happy.
Really time is gold. You could have a chance of winning if you werw not late. Maybe next time.
Yes, I also think in the same way that I could win the contest but Infront of time I laid down.
Time is very valuable when it comes to things like this because even the judges will not consider that you inevitably came late. We are somehow on the same page about not liking contest but of recent I am developing the interest in it because it comes with development and and growth... Nice reading from you
And I am not on the stage to like contest. Perhaps I should choose my optimistic point of view towards it. Thank you for stopping by.
Hmmm
But still you always show laziness visiting my ib on WhatsApp 😅
Why you are blaming my laziness. I accept that I have lazy attitude but there are still many things in which I am not lazy.
