Hey everyone,
This is my fifth contest. (I think.) Well that is besides the point...this is my first options contest. I love options contests so much, I figured why not hold my own. The first thing I must start out with are the.....rules. I know we all hate them with a passion but they must be here.
RULES:
-NO bashing
-No sticky caps (ThIs or THAT)
-Please put option # in notes
-NO erotica
-Don't overdue the swearing
-Please check spelling/grammer, it is a huge pet peeve of mine
-I prefer rhyme, but freeverse works too
-Beware of the tickle monster
-Or he will eat you...
-HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!
#1.
Write about love. Plain and simple, love. Just don't make it too mushy, it'll make me sick.
#2.
Write about pain. Any type of pain. Cutting, suicide, broken heart, feeling ugly. Any of that junk.
#3.
Write about your past. Whether it be good or bad.
#4.
Write about being lonely.
#5.
Write about your greatest fear. Whether it be heights or the dark or whatever.
#6.
Write a song about anything. It has to be lyrics though. With this option, please put in your authors notes what type of music the song would be put to.
#7.
Titles. This is always my favorite option. (YAY!)

Be inspired by one of the following quotes.
*If you cannot understand my whispers, how can you understand my words...
*I believe, that when life gives you lemons
you should make lemonade, then go find someone who's life has given them vodka and have a party!!!!!!"
*Loving someone isn't stupid...thinking that they'll love you back is
*"Either live large, or don't live at all."
* Depression is a fancy way of saying ur dying on the inside.
*"Hate is a 4 letter word, but love is a 4 letter lie"
*"Some people put up walls, not to keep others out, but to see who loves them enough to tear them down..."
*Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps, if you are not willing to move your feet.
*LOVE is giving someone the ABILITY to hurt you... but TRUSTING them not to..!!!
*No man is ever worth your tears,
and the one who is will never make you cry
*Laundry is the only thing that should be separated by color.
*The best things in life are unseen, that's why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry, and dream
*The brightest smiles always hide the darkest secrets
*Happy endings are merely unfinished stories

You have chosen amazing quotes. It would be difficult for someone to not find inspiration with so many wonderful options. I'm going to have to come back to this one.
P.S. Do you by any chance know the authors of any of those quotes? I was just curious. -
Good contest!
-
how many times may i enter?
-
ermm.. what is option 10?.. there is a space!

-
Babyyy. Nice contest. I was thinking of entering...I just have to muster up some inspiration. Lovely quotes, by the way.
I love you. ^_^ -
Great options... very inspiring. I'll see what I can come up with.
-
This was a great contest. Yeah, there were a lot of great quotes. I had a hard time deciding on one of them as well as the titles. I contemplated using one then a minute later I thought to use another one. Good luck to all the entrants.
-
oh sugar
I was just looking at a friends poem and I was going to enter, I was too slow.
Oh well- maybe I'll catch it another time! -
Thanks so much for the gold! I'm honoured... congratulations to the other winners as well.
