"She's got a smile and it seems to me, reminds me of childhood memories, where everything was as fresh as a bright blue sky." - Guns N Roses.
If our lives were put into lyrics, what a beauty, or a disaster it would be! I know this as I have considered making lyrics to my film of my life. I know it sounds pretty pathetic, but i'm very creative and I enjoy the idea.
Don't worry, this contest isn't just about writing theme songs to your life, though you can do. All I want is lyrics, and lots of them.
I love writing lyrics and hope you love it as much as I do!
If you wouldn't mind writing in your authors comments where you got the idea from or what inspired you to write the song/lyrics. It's not mandatory, but it's nice, I like hearing it, very interesting!
OK so now SOME Rules, not TOO many, don't worry:
Rules
1. No sticky caps, hurts my already ailed eyes.
2. Up to 3 writes per person.
3. Prewrites are allowed.
4. Swearing, violence and erotica is allowed.
5. Have a lot of fun!
Any questions just let me know by comment or by IM. I don't like censoring contests or telling you what genre you should write in, so I wont. It's interesting what different people come up with, and I pretty much like all genres so it's pretty good all round. I take the writing as a piece of art, not an experiment to be analyzed.
Thank you! I don't know how this is going to go and how many entries. I also don't know how good the pieces will be, so the stakes on this at the moment aren't very high. They will change with how good the pieces are. I hope you can accept this.
I will leave honest, active critiques that will help you. I will point out mistakes only if they are prominant. One mistake throughout the write doesn't need to be nitpicked by me, as it's just stupid and pointless.
Get writing my friends. If you are musical, you can also write what instruments will be used/can sing it on an audio file if you want by using www.dump.com or www.putfile.com if you so wish, but just a normal lyrical piece is sufficient and it will not gain you higher advantage.
Oh and you can use images along with your picture,
can also have exist song lyrics as an inspiration, please put these in authors comments so I know where you got the idea from.
Write your heart out lyricologists,
*heart*Stef*heart*

I would love to enter this, but the contest is not allowing any prewrites, while in the rules you stated that prewrites are allowed. Can you fix that?
-
Hi, you said you'd allow prewritten poems, but you haven't allowed it in your comments! Keep writing!

Question
Is the title of this contest from a song or something? If it's not, and you made it up, might I have permission to quote it? -
Thank you ....
