5-15 Words: Blow Me Away

 

 

5-15 words

any topic

prewrites allowed

enter many - I want a vast amount to read

Be one of those whom can blow me away.

I will be honest - as the shorter the piece, the more the critic I am.

I love short writes that pack a punch.

Should know rules by now, you are all clever.

Needless to say, I shouldn't expect to see any typos with such a small amount of words. This will dampen your chances considerably. There is a button to check your spelling, if you're not very good with it.

~ Some Suggestions/Thoughts, not rules ~
no cliche - this likely wont stur my muse

imagery is good, but not so much so that I no longer tell what you're writing about

backgrounds that are too gordy will make me less likely to enjoy your poem

stick to the rules - disobeying them might enrage me

respect my opinion, after all, I respect yours


Enter as many prewrites/new writes as you like within the next 24 hours.

Give me something magnificent. I dare you.


Points may go up, but only if the writes truly deserve.

I am spending my hard earned points [from contests and commenting you beautiful people] please make me glad I did.


Thank you & good luck all,
Stef



PS. if I get less than 50 entries, I'll be closing the contest. :]
