READ ALL OF THE RULES.
Okay, this contest is for those of you poets who like a challenge =]
What this contest is for is I want you to write a different poem everyday until the contest is over. It's fine if you miss a few days, but I want to see how creative you can get. The days of the week & prompt will be written below.
Sunday: Find a picture, put the URL in your Author's Notes [or just use it on your page] & be inspired by it.
Monday: Find a quote, be inspired by it. PUT QUOTE IN AUTHOR'S NOTES :]
Tuesday: Write how you're feeling.
Wednesday: Write a letter to someone. Someone you lost that was close to you, someone you can't stand, someone who's broken your heart, etc. Vent, if you need to. Get it all out, & write it as if you were going to show this person.
Thursday: Enter a favorite prewrite.
Friday: Write about someone you know [can be a boyfriend, girlfriend, brother, sister, friend, etc]
Saturday: Write about whatever you want. Just write what you wrote about in your Author's Notes =)
NOTE: YOU CAN RESERVE. AND. YOU MUST WRITE ONE POEM FOR EVERYDAY. For example, you can't always skip Tuesday, or always skip Friday, you have to write one Sunday poem, one Monday poem, etc. AND your poem can be 5 lines, your poem can be 50 lines. Do whatever you want =) But if you can't commit yourself to writing at least 4 a week, this is not the contest for you ! Best of luck to everyone :] Any questions? Feel free to ask !

Wow, this is a really good idea. Maybe I'll enter!
-
-
You surely should !
-
-
I put my name in my authors note and the day sorry if I didn't but it before didn't notice
-
-
-
Question.. Are we supposed to enter everday of the week? or just write and send you the link? Lol.
-
-
Basically just write everyday of the week, and use whatever day it is and look what you're supposed to write about. & you don't have to write everyday, just a minimum of 4 days per week, because a lot of people are busy. Does that make more sense? lol
-
-
Uh.. not really no..Lol.. But I'll figure it out? lol..
-
-
Lol basically just write everyday and whatever the prompt is for that day, write about that. For example, tomorrow [Monday] you'll have to pick out a quote and be inspired by it, and write how it makes you feel. Tuesday you'll have to just write how you feel, and so on & so forth. I'm trying to make it more clear haha sorrrrry!!!
-
-
I got it now..Lol. good stuff!!
Thanks for making it more clear for me..lol. I'm a little slow sometimes..
-
-
Hahaha, you're very welcome ! lol that's okay
we all are.
-
-
-
-
-
-
I like this idea, but I'm in Ireland and right now its 2am on Monday.....
So I'm all :-S about this contest, I don't know if I'll be able to enter
-
could you please tell me what dirty pretty is?? i've trying to figure out for quite sometime
haha -
-
-
If a person comes upon your contest in the middle of the day and wants to enter, should the person start on the day he/she found the contest, or the following day. Also, can we put all the poems we write in one entry?
Thankees much.
--Aden -
-
I would probably say the day you found the contest, or whenever you can enter. It doesn't really matter =) & also, I was going to make that a possibility, but then I realized that in the end I am going to choose my favorite out of all of your poems you've written, instead of all of them together, so the answer to that is probably no? haha sorry. But I hope you enter
♥
-
-
I am away from tuesday to friday so if ok I will write tomorrow and wednesdays poems today then start again friday
loves xxx
-
-
Sounds good, mah dear
-
-
oh for sure love
haha i already entered
cant wait till tuesday
<33
-
-
wootwoot

you.freaking.rock=)
hahah♥
-
-
Yay!! finally!! I got mine in..Lol. ok now for tomorrows!
-
Oh, I've got a question...
If we enter every day this week, do we have to enter next week at all? -
-
Well, you don't necissarily HAVE to, it's just you have a better chance at winning if you keep writing until the contest is over
-
-
I can't put pre-writes in!!!
lol. than again it's really rare when people are awake when I am
-
-
bahahah SORRY ABOUT THAT

you can now !
thanks for the reminder, i've been so busy haah i probably would've forgotten
♥
-
-
for friday.. can we write about a guy i like who doesnt kno it / doesnt like me back ?
or does it have to be on the lines of a good friend -
-
surely
-
-
ahhh i missed friday cause my internet went crazy

but ill write fridays & saturdays today if thats okay
-
-
go for it haha i don't care =)
& i understand the whole internet going crazy thing.
mines been pretty stupid lately. haha
♥
-
-
I enter for all of the days already v.v so how can I keep entering
-
-
Well, that's the thing. Your goal is to write until the contest is over, so you just keep on going until it's over. You don't HAVE to, you just have a higher chance at winning if you enter more poems. So, today is Sunday, so you can find a DIFFERENT picture & write from that one, and like for Wednesday the prompt will change. Maybe that doesn't make much sense? haha sorry.
-
-
This is quite creative! What a great idea!
-
-
Thank you !
-
-
Ish the pre writes aren't up!!
lol.
-
wellll

First of all, congratulations to you, YoureNoGoodforMe, for running this contest, for reading and commenting on all of the poems and for the hard work you put into the judging. It must have been a nightmare of biblical proportions.
Congratulations to all the winners.
Thank you for the HM.
