Dear Pens!

Christmas is almost here and it's time to write a Christmas Postcard Story! This year's Christmas contest theme is'Make A Wish.'We came up with this beautiful collaborative drawing based on the theme to spark your imagination and creativity!

Without further ado,

Our first artist started with this...

...followed by the second artist...

...and our final artist finished it off into something amazingly beautiful...

Can you see Penana's 'P'inside the snow globe on the bottom right-hand corner of the picture?:)

Wish you all an early Merry Christmas and have fun writing! Look forward to reading all your entries! You can make or hide a wish inside your story too!

Poetry, at least in my opinion, is absolutely amazing.  However, I feel it's extremely underrated.  In my class even, everyone had said they didn't enjoy poetry at all, then we go ahead and read a poem and they loved it!

So, here's the point in this contest; it's simple...

Poetry.

And no, this time, I'm not going to answer any questions because this is POETRY.  Anything goes.  You don't have to rhyme, don't worry about your stanza's, this is free-poetry, do whatever you what.  So if you want to rhyme, or if you want it to be formal (Even a Haiku) then go ahead.

Make sense?

If not, oh well...

Because...

Poetry.

I will be judging based on the message given in the poem, and whatever way you may want to give it.  Sincerity is needed!

Thanks, and good luck!

Just like the first 55-word story contest.  Create a 55-word story(including the title). This contest is just to see how creative anyone can be. A story can start and end in just a few words. You can write about anything you want. Enjoy! Good luck! <3

Sequel of Create Your Own Writer's Quote 1,2,3.

Write an original quote that represents yourself as a writer now. The fun part of doing this is the feelings you get when you revisit it as you become a more experienced writer.

Try to create a short and inspirational quote! Have fun writing!

Are you the ferocious lion? The timid mouse?

In this contest you are going to describe yourself as an animal. Sounds simple right? Well, there's a catch. You must do so using exactly 73 words.

Why 73 words you ask? Because I told my fiance to pick a number and that's the number she said. You may not write 74 words, and you may have 72 words only if one more word follows it to meet the required 73 words.

So have fun and good luck.

And Note: I won't kill you if you don't write exactly 73 words, I'm certainly not going to count them all
