Are you up for a challenge?

Will add more points laterrr on :] Will get up to at LEAST 1000 for gold

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 !

Rules

-Dirty Pretty is fine. I like it, actually

    -holding my breath[1]: by aanika-xox
    -When the stars collide: by Kiss the girl--x
    & Talk to Me: by AngelFlower

    The other honorable mentions are NOT in order, but they all deserved a trophie Thank you for taking the time to enter & for being patient with me! Hope to see you in one of these similar contests of mine later on ! Much ♥

    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

          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!!!

    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.

      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

      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.

    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.
