Hi Dee,
i am looking forward to participate in the ‘Fall Writing Competition’ can u make me understand the theme ”fall” . and can u please kindly tell me the email address. and i loved ur website
That’s great Tasneem.
Fall can mean something falling or it can mean autumn. It could be a story that just has the word fall in it. It’s just a story prompt. Be free to use your imagination. My email address is dee*at*deescribe*dot*com*dot*au

Hi Dee
I was just wondering does the story have to be about falls or is that just the name of the competition
Thanks,Sadhbh
Hi Sadhbh,
That’s the name of the competition. The story can be about anything to do with the word ‘fall’ and all of its meanings.
Happy writing:)
Dee
I am very excited! 🙂 I did not include the word fall in my story, though. I only included Autumn! I hope this counts!
Hi Zielle,
You don’t need to use the word, ‘fall’ in your story 🙂

Where is my certificate I didn’t get it yet
Hi Dev,
I have emailed your certificate twice. As you have a school email address, perhaps your web administrator blocked the email because my email address wasn’t familiar to them, or perhaps my emails have been placed in the Spam Folder.
Do you have another email address I can send your certificate to?
Happy writing:)
Dee
