I've just watched the most amazing movie, starring Morgan Freeman, one of my favorite actors. It's called, "The Magic of Belle Isle". Freeman is a Western author who has succumbed to drink and hasn't written in a while. A little girl next door wants to write and seeks his guidance. This movie is full of profound statements and lessons within those words.
I urge all fiction writers to watch this movie. It's absolutely amazing!
I watched it on Philo, but here's a link to the full movie if you don't mind watching on your device.

Thanks, Sha, for sharing this film. I love Morgan Freeman. I'll search for it on Netflix.
You'll love it, Audrey. It's one of those movies you'll want to watch again and again. Like Forrest Gump.
We're always looking for a good movie to watch. Thanks for the post on this Morgan Freeman one. I'll look for it.
Another one I love to watch is Music and Lyrics with Drew Barrymore about a washed up 80s musician (Hugh Grant) who pairs up with a poet. Fun, sweet and good songs. One of my go-to staples.
Thanks for the tip, Peggy. I'll look for it!
Thank you fo sharing this, Shauna. The trailer looks wonderful. I will look for it. Hopefully it is on Netflix or Amazon Prime.
John, it very well may be. When I ditched cable I subscribed to Philo for $25/month because they offer the channels I watched on cable. I'm sure you can find this movie on other streaming devices. Well worth the watch, for sure!
I love Morgan Freeman. I'll have to watch that movie. Thanks, Shauna, for the info.
So do I, Maria. I'll watch anything he's in. This movie is outstanding. I think I'll watch it again this afternoon!
That's a great movie. It's been awhile since I watched it, but the name stuck in my head.
I think it originally came out in 2012, Brenda. I hadn't seen it before yesterday. So glad I chose it when searching for a good movie to watch.
You're welcome. I agree. I've been trying to watch at least one uplifting or funny movie each weekend.

So by not entering in the first two sets and judging will not disqualify me for entering the third as long as I judge and follow rules?

Do you write about what you really know about or do you just wing with abit of research? And...what is your specialty?

I feel concerned that the reason google may prefer ehow as opposed to hubpages, is because there is an abundance of poetry and short stories. I am not by any means saying that those who publish the short stories and poetry are not good, but they are not usually searchable or high market. I...

A few of us poets and creative writers have come up with the idea of creating our own website specifically for all forms of creative writing. The catalyst for this is HubPages decision to create niche websites for various subjects. However they have stated that poetry and creative writing will not...

I've noticed that Fiction seems to be very rare on HubPages. Or is it just me?
by Helen Murphy Howell 11 years ago
Firstly, I only write non-fiction so this is a querie if you like on behalf of the poets and fiction writers on the site. I have looked around but I don't see any challenges or competitions particularly for this group of writers? If there are I apologise for obviously looking in the wrong place. If...
