I'd judge some writing contests for sure, but probably wouldn't be into writing for them. I've read some amazing originals in all of the old contests I judged here.

Well that sucks but 2 weeks is plenty of time for a short short story (micro fiction). As soon as you have an idea, hang on to it! Just throw it on paper and spend the rest of the time editing. I think you can knock out a 3k short story with 1 hour of writing and an hour of editing. Here's a hint for you (plus to whomever is reading): the two main criteria will be 1)romance and 2) a heart motif. Start thinking about your story now.

Sweet. I'm thinking of giving all participants an extra half-point for future contests to encourage participation.

Also sweet. I'll put you down for it, man. Since there's more than one judge, I'll also offer to give some criticism on the side, although I encourage peer-review.
I have the MWC all but posted. I'm waiting to post it on Saturday morning. It will follow the format of the old contests pretty much (must be posted in the official thread, must abide by word limit, must follow prompt, etc). I'm also reducing word limit to 3.5k and disallowing fan fiction.
Giving out writing reviews to anyone who wants them (exception: poems. I'll find you).

Nice, I may have to dig out my computer then. Most of my interneting is done via iPad now, and my daughter broke my iPad keyboard about a year ago. I'll be digging it out of the closet and wiping off the cobwebs. Looking forward to reading everyone's writing!
Here soon my girlfriend and daughter go out of the country for over a month. I'm really interested in doing something different for this month or at least a part of it. I won't get to many chances in my life where my responsibilities aren't to my family. I was kind of thinking of living homeless for the month and writing about it. I would still go to work since being homeless doesn't mean you don't have money or a way of supporting yourself. For some reason I really have an interest in mostly living off the grid and just seeing how freeing it would be. Would anyone be interested in that or should I do something else like fight crime and write about being a vigilante?
last part was a slight joke
You post a lot of... nonsense... what's up? Am I missing something? A lot of your posts just seem like random words put together sometimes.

a fools madness is when he sees himself reflected in a wise mans eyes as if it were the mirror of him which is not him with the problem

The good news is there is a writing contest going on now, one that I would highly appreciate entry into. I plan on having smaller competitions throughout the months with no prizes, but with this one the top story wins $100! I'm going to see what we can do about a Christmas/Winter one as well, but this contest may depend on how many paid ones we get in the future.

make sure to keep track of the ones that you've made just so we have record of them. Some day I do want to put them together and see what terrible mess has been created.
I think you should try some with a general theme. A zombie theme, Halloween theme, love story, adventure, murder/mystery, etc... Thoughts?

I'm 21 now and i've written lyrics, scripts, poems, short stories, standup jokes, html code (idk if that counts but I do it LOL), biographies, bibliographies, 1 book (with the help of like 4-5 other friends), pilots, you name it I've probably done it at some point or another. Writing is an escape for me and always has been and I hope i can make a career out of it doing something i can continue over the course of yeeeeeaaaarrs
Hi all. I also love to write and I have a good experience in this behind my back, but to be honest, I also have difficulties, especially when I come across a topic that I don’t understand. In this case, this source with examples comes to the rescue https://writinguniverse.com/free-essay-examples/god/ This greatly simplifies the writer's life, because you must agree that you need to be a genius to orient well in all possible topics.
Just figured I'd drop in to say hello. Had in interest in writing since my high school days but never took it up as a consistent hobby.
