NBR Announcement: NBR will be taking a ONE week break NEXT week: Fri, March 25 - Fri, April 1
Do round 32 THIS week.
After the break, you can expect some news worthy changes to help grow and expand the contest toward the future! This one week break will allow members to recharge, relax and unwind :) But if you're looking for something to do, here is a small list:
1) Read, meet, and greet staff directly from 抖阴社区 Headquarters through the Partyparrot @抖阴社区AThon profile. Read and comment (because each of you are super star reviewers) nearly 60 stories written directly by the staff members at 抖阴社区. This is a great opportunity to NETWORK, and build bridges so that HQ can get to know you. (Ah, how resourceful, Dawn. Perk of an Ambassador :) Be nice and mention you're from NBR :)
2) Consider entering a teaching contest: http://blog.skillshare.com/wattpad-x-skillshare-teach-contest-writing-short-stories/
3) Consider submitting yourself or reading up on NBR interviews conducted by our fellow 抖阴社区 Ambassador and NBR Ambassador @wrightstory. Her interviews are meant to highlight and expose some of the best writers and reviewers who have been associated with NBR. Her connection with folks from 抖阴社区 HQ makes her a great resource!
NBR round 33 will launch April 1st, 6pm central time!

Book Title: The Ice Cream Monkey
Specified Chapter: Chapter: 2 -"You're like a cat lady, but with a monkey instead" (read up to the indicated note. <2800 words)
Summary Thus Far in Book: Katherine Perry was a college freshman-to-be who moved away two months ago for college, and she was expecting a roommate before the beginning of the semester. She worked in a part-time job on an ice cream truck that sold monkey shaped ice creams for a company called 'the ice cream monkey'. She kept a pet monkey called Brent, whom she got when she first got the job. On the last week of summer a costumer came and caused her a fight with her boss because her little monkey attacked him. After that she went home, expecting to find her new roommate -who was a guy and the son of her mother's friend, although she didn't know him yet- to arrive, when she finds that guy (the costumer from earlier) coming out of her bathroom. the first chapter ends with her screaming in shock.
Author's Note: First off I want to thank Dawn for organizing and being the leader of such a great community, NBR is something brilliant and it for sure has a lot of excellent writers and reviewers. I'm so proud to be a part of this.
Moving on to what I'd like to know about the chapter,
In this chapter we get to know more about the main characters, how real are the characters to you and do they seem relatable or interesting at all? Also since this is a humor story, How good is the sense of humor so far and is it enough, too little, or too much? Lastly What would you suggest to make the story more unique (aside from the events of the story)?
Thank you! :D
