Enter your camp nanowrimo novels, short stories, play, etc. here. :)

Take the picture of the tree and make anything you can think of. Let your creativity flourish.

This is a simple contest. Just tell us the reason(s) you write!

No word limit:)

You can write anything you would like as long as it's short and suicide or self-harm related. 

For this contest, I want you to take the image below and create something with it. A story. A quote. A song. A poem. Any form of art you wish. Here is my example, it came to mind the first time I saw this picture:

As I jumped and skipped in the pouring rain, I knew people around me enjoying the sunny weather. All of them under their dimly lit umbrellas, seeing an imaged sunny day. You may not know but, the world has changed. It rains everyday without end. We’re lucky to see a sunny day. People started to complain, get lazy, and slow go into depression.  So, in response, scientists created an umbrella that creates an image the holder wishes to view. It was created for the greater good but also as an experiment. Everyone in the world received one of these ‘wondrous’ umbrellas. I did was well, and you would consider me an outlier in this experiment. I tried it and within the first second I threw it into the back of the closet. I didn’t need an umbrella to enjoy life. I could see it with my own eyes. Rain falls everyday, just like everyone’s hopes for a sunny day. I didn’t lose my hope, I never had to have hope. I had all I needed. A light, even if these clouds brought what everyone else saw as a darkness.

I never understood why, I still don’t. But, it doesn’t matter. Life can continue to pour down on me but I’ll never coward away. I’ll always stay out, taking anything and seeing it as a light. Even if no one else sees it.

That's just my example, I just want your response or thoughts to this picture in a form of art.

Go crazy! Have fun! Think Deep! IDK! Do what you do! :)

(If this goes well. I hope to do more Picture Responses later on :) Maybe I'll do Song Responses, *shrugs* idk :)  )

Artist of the masterpiece above is in this link.

You awoke one morning and realized that your family was missing but not only them but your whole neighborhood. What would you do? 

We've all heard the fairytales: The charming knight finds the tower the beautiful princess is hidden away in, all to slay the evil dragon to bring her home and marry her. Right? Well, not anymore.

In this contest, take the story of the knight saving the princess from the tower and put an unlikely twist in it! Maybe the princess isn't a princess? The dragon's nice? It's actually a giant goat? The prince is like 85 years old? Take your pick!

Any genre or length is accepted. Have fun!

Prompt:

Rewrite a story in any genre! I want to hear your version of a story you've grown up hearing or just thought was interesting! It can be a fairytale/folktale, a ballet, a song, or any other type of story you can think of!

Edit: Since I've recieved 4 questions about what is acceptable source material within the last 24 hours, I just want to make it super, extremelyclear that you can write about anything you want. Anything at all. Only rule is that it has to be a retelling of something. Your options are practically limitless. :)

Rules:

1.Please refrain from retelling any well-known Grimm/Perault stories: Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow white, etc.

2.Word Count is unlimited! Go nuts!

3.I set the rating at PG-13, but as long as you don't go overboard, I really couldn't care less what you decide to put in your story. You're the writer, after all!

4. Any format is accepted too. Poems, short stories, anything.

Prize:

The three winners will get a secret prize sent to them!

Most importantly, be creative and have fun! ;)

Everyone has a muse in one form or another. What's yours look like? Sound like? Is it someone you know? Someone you made up? Creator's pick. Like count will be considered!
