#5 That Voice You Hear...It's The Other You.

Everyone--well, almost everyone--has that inner voice that drives them, tells them the difference between right and wrong, their beliefs, and their thoughts. It's their alter ego, their consciousness, and it's the foundation for who you are.

Stemming from this topic I have a few options.

1) Write about your alter ego. What is he/she like? What do they say? What do they believe?

2) Write what your inner voice is telling you at this very moment

3) Write about an experience with your inner voice/alter ego. Did it ever get you into trouble? Did it ever disappear at a time when you needed it the most?

4)Freud studied your conscious. The ego, superego, and the id. Write with those in mind.

5) The picture above. Credit it. It's called "Inner Voice" by rrockkelly.

6) Anything of your choice, but dealing with the subject at hand.

Sound good?

Rules:

1) Any genre is fine. Just mark it correctly
2) No AIM speak.
3) Use proper grammar when you write. I'm very picky. I will correct you.
4) Any form is okay. Freeverse or rhyme.
5) Place the option number in your author's notes.
6) Prewrites accepted.
7) I will not be viewing any entries until closing so please make sure you edit!

That's about it.

Prizes:

1st: 355 points, a shiny gold trophy and bragging rights
2nd: 215 points, a sparkly silver trophy and...ooo shiny!
3rd: 105 points, a bronze trophy, and a place holder in your trophy rack.
May add HM's later depending on number and quality of entries

Okay, I'm done ranting
(and so am I)
I just hope that this time I get entries.
(me too)
I would really appreciate it
(because if you don't, I will come through your computer and hunt you down)
Shut up!
(you can't make me)

Sincerely,
schizophrenic ModernXTimes

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on June 1, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 355, Silver: 215, Bronze: 105, Honorable mention: 3 people
  • Final notes:
    It's all over! Thank you all for entering. There were many wonderful entries (although there were many disobedient authors. Ahem!), and I really at least liked all of them. There were none I absolutely hated or disliked at all so you should all be proud of yourselves. The winners, of course, should be proud of themselves as well because they rule ^_^.
    (no they don't? what are you talking about? What a bunch of crappy poets.)
    Shut it.
    Anyways, I hope that you will all continue writing in the future, and I hope to see you later on the site. Keep on penning!
    (leave the site and never come back)
    apparently my other side is from writing.com. But don't mind him/her.
    (what? Poetry just sucks in general. Nobody ever reads it anymore)
    I have some stuff to take care of. Bye!

    LOL. I think your voice needs a time out, it's broken into your typing!
    Thanks so much for bronze. I loved the contest.
