I'm not really sure if anyone will read this but if it attracts some more attention to the writing portal then it's not in vain.

So, there are 3 writing events on NG that I participate in, being

1. NG Fests 2023 short story contest here

https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1521211

I already made my entry there and there are some really cool entries,much better than mine, and there's still some time left to enter till April 15.

2. Pico Day writing contest dedicated to - surprise - Pico Day!

https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1523434

I already have an idea for this one and plan to work on it in second half of April. If you want to take part and tell a story about Pico's new neighbor, you have (almost) a month to write one!

3. Spoken word poetry collab.

https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1523147

It's not a contest, it's, as title says, a collab between poetry writers and voice actors. I'm in process of doing a poem for that, I hope to finish it next week, and it's gonna be called Burning the Flags. The deadline is May 1 so there's still time to enter!

That's my great plans for April, and I hope the writing portal will get more readers and writers! If you feel the inspiration, all three events have still not reached the deadline, so you can go take part in them. And definitely click that follow button on the threads to make sure you don't miss those cool stories and poems written by fellow Newgrounders.
