New Years is right around the corner. Usually, there is a countdown, champagne, laughs, hugs, kisses, the dropping of a ball (or something else depending on where you live}, fireworks, and all that other good stuff. Well, what if New Years was different this year? Some ideas are:

The World Ending (or people believing it will & freaking out)

The year being strange - going back in time or forward, skipping 2018

Being stuck in 2017/ 2017 starting over again

Deja Vu- after the countdown the events of the New Years festivities keeps repeating

Or whatever else you can come up with! Put a spin on New Years!

No poems, please.  No word limit! No length limit! Have fun! Be creative!

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!

I'm giving you a list of words.

Glanceat the list. Don't Google or search up the definition.

Pickone and Thinkabout it, what does it speak to you?

Scroll down to the definition. Read the definition of the chosen word and Write.

You don't have to use the word but, you may if you wish to do so.

Try not to Pickanother word or learn the meaning before enlightening yourself to the word.

:) I wish you all good luck. Good Day.
