Everyone is familiar with The Great War (World War One) and the terrible cost all the nations involved suffered. The horrific images of trenches, the poems describing human suffering, and the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month that ended it come first to mind. Now it is time to put yourself in the shoes of someone who lived through the The Great War based off of this photo (it's the third photo on the page or refer to the cover photo).

Are you a soldier in the trenches? Are you a nurse or a doctor that must treat the wounded or are you a civilian seeing images like the one above in the newspapers? It is totally up to you. Take inspiration from the photo.

The word limit is about 4,000 words and I will allow two entries per person.

Certain pieces of music inspire us to write. Melancholy songs encourage scenes of tragedy while energetic sings invoke scenes of victory and times of celebration. What do you envision when you hear certain songs?

Pick an instrumental piece of music (classical pieces, a movie score, video soundtrack, choir hymns etc.) and write a short story based off of it; maximum 5,000 words. Put the song that inspired you at the top of your entry as well as the genre the story fits into.

Other than that, I look forward to reading your entries and have fun! If you have any questions feel free to ask me.

Write a piece of writing that is inspired by the following:

'A Secret Admirer'.

The judging of this contest has been set to like count and will last twelve weeks from Sunday 14th April 2019.

Have fun and good luck!

Complete the following scene using up to a thousand words, not including the following section:

'I couldn't bring myself to believe what had just happened.

What had just happened?

The pool of ruby red slides over the marble floors of the hotel. Muffled screams sound around me, ricocheting inside the numbness of my ears left behind after the firing of Snake's gun.

It was the loudest gunshot I had ever heard.

And it had drawn the blood of the Devil.

It had built a hatred in the Reaper.'

On the basis that Black Devil, Red Reaper, and Silver Snake are different groups of gangsters residing in England, I wonder if you can continue this scene. If you do, there is the possibility of the winner helping me write my very first story! However, that's only if I feel like we're on the same page.

No other hints are going to be given on here, so challenge yourself! Though my inbox is always open if you need to ask any questions.

Good luck!

Hello everyone! I've noticed that the contest section seems to be devoid of any actual contests... So I'll go ahead and give it a try!

Here's what you gotta do:

Create any piece of literature about your country.

You might be from USA, India, China, anywhere! But write something that relates to your homeland. It could be a haiku or a short story, even a brief description, whatever you please. There are no limits, just write away!

Good luck!

Christmas is just around the corner and I would like to host a Christmas theme contest:)

Prompt:

Write about a memorable Christmas gift you once received from someone. You can also write it in the form of a story.

Word Limit:

Under 1000 words

Have fun writing and wish you all a very Merry Christmas!

I'd like you to write a story from a song, any song. Any theme. But make sure this story is interesting, making me want more of the story. You can make it as long as you want, make sure its detailed if its shorter then 2,000 words. I'd love to see new species being created, a love story or break-up I've never heard of before. Anything. Just please make it related to the song you listen to, also make sure you put the song at the end of the story so I know what to relate the story from.

Please have fun writing XD

And enjoy as well.

We all hear different things when listening to music, different interpretations. Write the story you hear when you listen to a song.

*You may include multiple songs, if you see fit. Make sure to list the songs you used after you write it.

*Word limit is 1000 words, but it can be shorter.

Tell us what makes you happy and why. You can tell us what, whatever makes you happy, means to you or how it affects your life. It's your story, Good luck beauties.
