Hi Brilliant poets♥
I have never had a contest on writing, so here it is...
I saw this quote on Lori's ( -Ink Artist- ) page and thought it was wonderful....so with her permission, I am sharing it with you to inspire...
"Detail makes the difference between boring and terrific writing. It’s the difference between a pencil sketch and a lush oil painting. As a writer, words are your paint. Use all the colors."
~ Rhys Alexander, Writing Gooder, 12-09-05
So, poets, show me all of the colors.....♥
I am not going to post the rules...
Use common sense, and spell check....

hi Sis
It does not have to be about writing, just has to be inspired by the quote that I provided...:
"Detail makes the difference between boring and terrific writing. It’s the difference between a pencil sketch and a lush oil painting. As a writer, words are your paint. Use all the colors."
~ Rhys Alexander, Writing Gooder, 12-09-05
Hope that helps
