WRITING COMP
If I remember to write a story, I'll try to join!! <3
Do I post it in the comment section of this thread?
Also, follow up question, Can it be a haiku?
If I choose to do a poem, does it have to be a certain amount of lines or words?
just under 500 words
I have a second question lol- one thing I’m thinking about entering is 674 words, I know you said the limit is 500 but would that be okay?
ooh, this looks fun. prob going to participate
YEp 574 is ok, Yea just a chapter is fine
yay!
On second thought, I may not enter, I have a lot written but not sure which I’d want to enter…but thanks anyway:)
I'll join in but It's probably not going to be the best since I'm really sick.
Can you post it in here before the end date?

Here's my entry!:
to those i have burnt
by Andy KS
All it takes is a spark for me to ignite as the surrounding air fuels my hot embers.
A constant hunger controls me. I search for fuel, something to keep me alight. This orange and yellow being that I am eats up everything in my path. I am relentless and fair. I do not care who or what is in front of me, only that my hot hands cover it and turn it to ash.
However, there are times I can be controlled. When mortal hands brought two rocks together, it was the first time I was contained by the will of humanity. Then, again when I am a flicker of light, only used to guide the way through dark forests, and when I am used to warm the sticky white snacks the creatures love so much. These are the times I relish. Those moments where my hunger does not swallow everything in my path.
I was born at the beginning of time, along with many others. Since then, I have seen many things. I have watched the fall of great nations as the creatures in this world battled for power, using me as their weapon.
I’ve burnt so many things. So many creatures have died at my hands, and yet, I live still.
I have come to know many things. If I were a creature of this world, I could solve every problem. All I have to do is think and eat. So I think.
When I was young, the threat of killing these poor creatures was not present, for these creatures did not exist. The only thing I did was eat, swallowing up the trees and bushes, brought to life by the spark of lightning or lying below the earth’s crust, waiting to be released. I let my hunger take me prisoner. Since then, I have been unable to retake my control. I am now only a being of starvation, driven by the urge to eat and eat until there is nothing left to consume.
Why was I created? I shall never know, but I pity the creatures of this world. All they do is dwell on their existence, trying to find answers to explain it. The search for these answers drives these things mad, but not me. I know I am as I am and I always will be. There is no way I can save me from myself.
In my many, many years of life, I have never found one like me. No one as hungry.
However, I have found something that cools my embers. This thing knows as I know. It knows the answers to questions the creature asks. This thing is as I am, all-consuming. It does not always destroy the things around it. For this, I envy it. I have tried many times to reach out to this being, however, when I get too close, it shies away from the heat I bring.
This thing can bring a joy that I only see when I am but a flicker of who I usually am.
I am a fire. I am a flame. I am the thing that burns. I am the thing that wishes to be something more than a source of heat or a devouring force.
To those I have burnt:
I am sorry.
I wish to heal you.
I beg your forgiveness.
Know, that if I could, I would put myself out.
Sincerely, Fire

Question, my entry is going to be the first chapter of my new book. Since it's a chapter it'll probably be more then 500 words. Does that matter or do I have to try make something else?
i think a bit over 500 is fine, but not like a couple hundred over
well, Padfoot said 674 is fine, but idk
If its say 650-670 thats fine but anything over 670 is not ideal but anything over 700 wont be accepted sorry, And it doesn't matter if the ending or beginning doesn't make sense because it's and exerpt I can work around it
is anyone ready or has anything to share?
i should be done with mine soon-ish! well, hopefully
I'll try finish it within a day or two. It's just taking a bit longer since my mental health hasn't been great.
Where is loneliness?
If you asked Shakespeare where is loneliness?
He'd tell you its in the abandoned meadows and lakes
If you asked Einstein where is loneliness?
He'd tell you in a blackhole somewhere in space
If you asked Newton where is loneliness?
He'd point at the apple farthest from the tree
If you asked Peter Pan where is loneliness?
He'd show you a lost ship at sea
But what if you asked me, where is loneliness?
I'd tell you it's next to you in a crowded room
I'd show you the star that's drifted away from the moon
Then ask yourself where is loneliness? Is it with me or is it with you?
