Many park visitors like to write about their experiences in the park, whether to share with friends digitally, or to record their memories in a journal. Describe your experience at one Dino observation area, tour or attraction from the map/brochure. Even if you don’t consider yourself a writer, feel free to give it a try!
Instructions: Upload a doc or txt file or paste into the submission box. Word count between 200-800. Judged on: Mayda’s Fiction Rubric (see below).
Mayda’s Fiction Rubric: Similar to the DJB Fiction Rubric , except that Story 20%, Realism 20% and Entertainment is 60%. I am non-traditional myself so I value things that are “outside the box.” I also want this to be more easy-going and less stressful than serious fiction competitions. This is to provide an opportunity to let your creativity flow and try something new! Feel free to try a new style of writing and storytelling. Parody another movie - make a mash-up of two. Leave it a cliffhanger without an ending - you won’t be marked down. Invent a dino language. I won’t take off for spelling and grammar, unless I absolutely cannot understand what you are saying. If you aren’t normally a writer, it’s ok, give it a try! But, be sure to keep it PG-13, nothing too graphic, please. And please email me if you have questions or are not sure of anything or are hesitant to try. Have fun!
