Comment from lyenochka
This is wonderful writing advice! Thank you for sharing. I do find using these shorter forms a really good way to condense thoughts to just the essence. Besides, these days, our reading attention span has greatly diminished (regardless of age) so writing succinctly is really important!
Best wishes in the contest!

This is an excellent essay and it teaches just what a new writer needs to know. It is generous of you to share your knowledge and "tricks." Thank you.

Comment from Iza Deleanu
WOW, nice advice about writing, and you re right the haiku is the best way to start. A haiku helps you write about nature and think about beautiful way to express that beauty. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest and your writings.
