Hi Everyone!
For the month of July our site contest is all about inspiration!
We all have someone, something, or a song that has inspired us at some point in our lives. Here's your chance to write about it.
Here are your options for your inspirations:
1. Write something patriotic for the 4th of July.
2. Write something about personal or national independence.
3. Be inspired by a song, and write why that song inspires and makes you feel the way you do without using any lyrics of the song. It doesn't matter what song it is, or time era. Any song be it a garage band that hasn't made a record yet or one that is a chart topper. It is up to you. Just please make the notation in your Author's Notes to let us know which it is.
Rules:
1.Please place the Option # and exactly what/Who your inspiration is in your Author's Notes.
2.Please Label everything correctly. Please do not copy song lyrics as part of your entry, it is plagiarism and against site rules.
3. No prewrites are allowed.
4. Any form is fine.
5. Plain backgrounds only please.
6.All poems must be G rated.
