Dear writers.

here you can write whatever your heart, brain, and hands want. At the end (4 weeks), I will judge who wins and the different places. However, I will leave comments on all entries and I will actuallyread them. Whether you are an experienced writer or new, I believe everyone has potential.

Good luck to everyone and I can't wait to see what you come up with! You can write as many entries as you'd like :D

Rules:

Swearing is allowed - not too much, you don't want that language to take over your writing

If something is 18+, please make a warning in the beginning of your entry - 18+ is NOT required (I get it, not everyone is comfy with reading these)

Triggers! - If there are any possible triggers in your entry, make sure to address them in the beginning so that your readers know what to be ready for

Author notes - These aren't required, however, I love reading what the author thinks about they wrote and what it means to them

HAVE FUN!!!!

Nothing too too long (But it can be a tad bit long or short)
