Help Me!

Dear all of you,

My entry on Tallenge, Earth's Largest Talent Platform is right underneath here.
"In Scarlet Water" - http://tlng.me/1wgMxX4

Do take a look and vote for it if you think it deserves to win, when you have time, obviously (but preferably before September 12). You don't have to log in or sign up or anything, so it only takes around a few minutes! Please share it around, even if you're not interested! ^-^

Essentially, it's an entry for a short story competition. The winner will get opportunities for publishing online and it's a huge opportunity for me to take my writing further. :c

And here's the summary:

"There is a certain power in self-sacrifice."

My name is Lily Hooper, and I've never fit in anywhere. That is, to say, I've never fit in at home. I haven't even had a proper home. An asylum, a mansion... those aren't homes, are they? But finally, I've settled in; a new life, new friends, new parents... and I've left my life in London behind. The childhood I'd never had is the past, now, and I'm fine. I'm okay. Nobody will ever find me here.

Thanks a million, and it would mean the world to me,
Sarah <3

A Book Ad (That sounds really snobby but...)

Hello, Internet, and people I know who are still reading this blog.

Hahaha! Finally. I'm getting my writing to shape up. I actually think this could be the beginning of something. Anyways, this post is just here to share my novel with you people. Oh yeah. And to tell you a little about Wattpad.
Wattpad is this amazing site for readers and writers of all ages and genres who are interested in reading things that people around this small earth write; and not only the famous people. It's an amazing site, really. I first developed my insane love for writing towards the end of seventh grade, and it has totally changed my life (don't worry, I'm not going to go all philosophical). So, last year, people were telling me about Wattpad and I did my research on it and found out it's a totally cc website that helps you to protect your writing online and where it's the perfect place to make your writing better and to see and hear what people think about what you write. If you love to write, like me, it's recommended.

It has been remarkable to hear what people think about my novel Cliffton, the first of a medieval fantasy trilogy and what I'm going to share with you people out there today. I have been considering actually getting it out there (meaning publishing), and will probably grasp the opportunity when it comes. :) Enough of my ranting. Tell me what you think!

Winter dawns on the small kingdom of Guildenstar. The air is cold, the landscape is a sparkling white. Everything seems peaceful, everyone seems happy. But this is not to last. Meanwhile, in the castle, problems are rising. A certain Lord plots to uphold his power. Guildenstar's currency is failing. The royal family are at risk of losing everything they have and love. Unaware of all this, Elizabeth Dain lives a carefree life, disobeying the regulations the Lord of the castle lays down upon her shoulders. 
But as her 'turning' name-day grows ever closer, things around her begin to change. Her family is being unusual. Her father is nice to her. And although this is something she should enjoy, Elizabeth becomes more and more suspicious. What are they hiding from her? Why is it so important? What she doesn't have any idea about is that her knowing this information will turn the tables of her life over- for ever.
