What do you think about when you listen to  a classical piece? Where does your mind wander and what is the message you extract from the song? I am curious to see just what people imagine when listening to a certain piece.

Insert the link towards the classical song that you have chosen and write a short story inspired by it. Let's encourage more people to listen to classical music!

So, I know a lot of quote contests circulate around this website a lot for contests.  And, like most of them, this one will be a little different from the last.

As the title states, your challenge will be to "Quote The Now."  Which means that you're going to write a quote based on something significant going on in your life right now.  So, for example, if you're in a season of transition, maybe write a quote about change.  It can range from something vague, to something very specific.  I'd like to keep the word count under 50, but for the sake of expression, we'll make the word limit 100.

Another important feature.  This is aLIKED BASED CONTEST.That being said, there's going to be a few different rules...

Rules:

1.) No liking your own issue!

2.) Please take time and read allthe issues.  (I know this sounds dumb, and I'm not saying to read them all word-for-word, but make sure you've given each issue at least somewhatof your attention.)

3.) Word limit: 100 words

4.) Quote must be relevant to contest conditions.

Okay, that about sums everything up!  If you guys have any questions, feel free to drop a question in the comment section.

At what point do you become fearful, and what is it you fear?

•This isn'ta horror story.  In fact, stay away from horror.  Instead, think about your life and the obstacles you face.  At what point do you retreat back into yourself?  When do you feel over-whelmed?

Rules:

• Stay within the anxiety theme

• Word limit needs to be under500

• Your fear cannotbe a physical object

Here's an example:  (My own fear of silence)

It’s when words fail me that I become fearful.  If I talk I can fein confidence enough to even convince myself, but when my speech falters, when my mouth refuses to open—when I’m silenced—I’m terrified.  My throat feels dry.  If I can’t even respond, then how can I feel okay?  Someone just popped the bubble that I’ve been living in for so long and I can’t even defendmyself, so howcan I feel okay?  It’s raw skin under these callouses.  My armor’s only show.  I’m not all that big underneath, I’m only skin and bones.  And now you know that.  So how can I feel okay?

I can’t speak.  I can’t even fathom.  It’s as if my brain’s on pause yet moving a thousand miles per hour, and I.  Can’t.  Speak.  Fear settles at the pit of my stomach, it’s cold and hot all at the same time, and everything seems like nothing.  The only words I throw out I trip over, the only sentences I can speak are choppy and incomplete.  I’ve been silenced by shock.  By Fear.  How am I going to be okay?

Write you hearts out!

If you've got any questions, feel free to comment!

What! So early?

Yep, but it's not what you think. All that feast of meals and unwrapping presents close by a Christmas-tree and outside the window everything is coated in thick white snow.

Nope.

How about your character is SO not looking forward for Christmas. Not only because everything's early in shops but perhaps something else is bothering ...

May it be comedic, dramatic, romantic, epic just Christmas needs to be mentioned or symbolized and the character is not happy about it.

Time is ticking, so go for it! ;-)

This is a contest to prove your musical capabilities. Write a song and post it. Why? Who are you to ask!? Why not? What is a world without music? So prove yourself and write something amazing.

What would you do if you lived in medieval time?  The Old West?  Gothic ages?  What about the 1700's-1800's?

You must write a story, or even a scene, and create an adventure of some kind.  What's the catch?  It has to be you.  You yourself, the one who's typing, you've got to get down deep inside yourself and wonder what you would do in the face of undeniable adventure.

Not necessarily a historical story, though you can make one, this is more off the question that I believe everyone has.  Just how tough are you?  Where does your adventurous spirt lead you?  And how far are you willing to go?

Ask questions if you're curious!
