Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments Hello!!

I finally remembered about the Writing Contest so here we go. This month the theme is "The devil you know." the word limit this time is 150 (just cause I can) and you have 2 weeks to send your entry to me so that'll be midnight on the 19th. Have I left anything out?

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments Have a look at some of the past entries, Fatima; it's just a bit of fun, really.

Fatima | 10 comments Yeah i know i'm just not good at writing yet


message 5: by Fatima (new)

Fatima | 10 comments Can it be a poem


message 6: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 7935 comments I've won with poems, so I guess, yes :~)


message 7: by Fatima (new)

Fatima | 10 comments Cool thanks


message 8: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments It can be anything you want it to be. The only rules are a limit of 150 words (but it can be less) and it has to link in to the theme.

message 11: by Fatima (new)

Fatima | 10 comments Haha i guess thats a good way to put it


message 12: by Jud (new)

Jud (judibud) | 16799 comments It is just for fun and it doesn't even matter if you have the worst grammar in the world, it's not a serious competition so don't stress yourself over it :o)


Simon (Highwayman) (highwayman) | 4276 comments OK, I'm going to have a go. I seem to have a lunch break today.

message 20: by Marc (new)

Marc Nash (sulci) | 4313 comments There's always a last minute stampede, it's like we never left college all-nighter last minute to deadline essay writing behind

I expect to DNF, so you'll be at least runner up.
