**FEEL FREE TO RESERVE!!!**
Oh, and contest will end September 29th!!
Ohkay, as most of you know, I have done a contest like this before. But this time, the prompts are going to be very different than before, & I'm also doing this with my best friend in the whole world, So I Will Run , also known as Bria .
This is how it's gonna work.
Each day of the week, there will be a different prompt . The prompt for each day will be changed weekly, so you will be doing a different prompt every day. They will NEVER be the same. Kapeesh?
Also, you need to commit yourself to this contest if you plan to win. In the three weeks this is open, you will need to write a total of AT LEAST 10 throughout the entire contest. Pretty easy, huh? If you have any other questions, you can either ask me or my partner in this thang, So I Will Run .
Now. Onto the days of the week =]

[x]Pictures Facing Down

-
Kapeesh?
I guess this could be the phonetic spelling...
But it's actually 'Capisce?'
I sound like an ass...
-
-
bahah

I figured you'd find a spelling error SOMEwhere. lol
-
-
Good luck hun!!!
-
-
Aw, thanks, dearest
-
-
It's now Tuesday, I didn't see the contest til just now. Do I still do monday's prompt?
Or do I start w/ tues? -
-
Start on whichever day you found it :] So start with Tuesday, and then at the end of the contest you'll end up ending on Tuesday. Does that make sense ♥
-
-
You are one busy gurl..it's just a few days and here's yet another contest!! lol..well hope you have fun in judging!
love ya sistah from another mistah!
Lieu
-
-
hahaha I know

-
-
oh garsh
i would LOVE to do this
but i have no time cause of school
and lately my writing hasnt been all that wonderful.
i might enter a few times if i get prompted well enough..
but i dont have enough time to write 17/21 poems9
goodluck with the contest hun <33
♥♥♥ -
-
awww
i'm sorry
& yeah i think that'll really be hard
uhm
i believe i'm going to change that
to where you only have to enter at least 10 times
i realized how silly 17/21 was hahaha
hopefully you can enter doll
much love & thanks
♥ -
-
well if it's 10
then i might give it a shot
i should be able to handle that hahaa
-
-
i just changed it, mah dear !

♥
-
-

*sigh*
lol
that's fineee
just get yer days in order
hahaha
-
-
-
-
-
-
I posted my poems for monday and tuesday im going to start typing up my poem for wednesday on my computer.
-
Found it last week. Can I do a entry for each entry or no?
Should I post them in the same one too or no? -
-
nope, i would like you to do every entry separate :] and start on whatever day you started on, so its the second week, so don't do first weeks prompt, do this weeks prompt for each day. does that make more sense?
-
-
I already did the first day's prompt ist aht ok?
I'll do this weeks prompts from here on though -
-
yes thats fine just make a note of it in your author's notes :]
-
-
-
-
how many chances will we have to enter this? like, we have to enter 10 times but how many chances will we have to enter? if that makes sense.
-
-
haha hmm. i'm not quite sure what you're trying to get at...what do you mean?
-
-
i didnt get to post my wednesday & thursday for week one but i reserved those days & have both written i have limited computer access is it okay if i post them later ?
-
-
Yessum that's just fine :]
-
-
Sorry I've missed the last week's worth of entries. And I SO wanted to enter yesterday with the word bank! I hope I will be able to enter every day from now on. It's just been a HECTIC week.
-
can the poem about darkness, be not directly related to darkness but the subject represents darkness, no hope, no voice- and being trapped?
-
-
yessum, it surely can be ! anything relating to darkness will work :]
-
-
The subject matter is dark t hough the poem is more than just that. Its a dark time though its about- and its really sad. So th at is ok?
-
-
yeah, that will be just fine :]
-
-
Can the tribute be prose?
-
so i thoguht i would be able to write for this.. but i didnt really have time and i only entered 2 poems
but im thinkin of tryin again for the next week.. so just a question .. might be stupid lmfao
but which week is it now haha?
♥ -
-
hahaha
thats quite all right :]
lol
it is currently week 3
-
-
When will the other prompts be up?
-
When are the other prompts going to be up?
-
-
I'm sorry, I have them written down, things have just been incredibly hectic lately but thank you for reminding me :] I'll put them up right now.
-
-
It's okay. I know how hectic goes. I was just thinking, its Sunday and we haven't had prompts since Tuesday, so I thought I'd remind you. =] Thanks. And we still do the ones we've missed, right?
-
-
You can if you want to ! You don't have to, I'll just lower the number required rather than 10 to like probably 6 or something, but if you want to that would also be wonderful
-
-
Alright. I'll probably write for a couple of them. Thanks! =]
-
-
-
-
-
