Think. Read. Write. Dream. writing challenge information

Hey guys!
So as I mentioned in this post I have reached 50 followers (I still can't believe it. I'm still speechless. Thank you!) and I have decided to have a writing challenge!
This is just a little post to give any of you considering entering some information about it.

Your entry can be a poem, a paragraph, a scene from a story, a chapter, a letter, or a short story. It can be something completely new, or it can be something you have already written. All content must be original - no stealing from anybody else, unless you are using a quote. If you do decide to quote someone, please say who the quote originates from (or which book if you are using a Bible quote.)

If you are participating, please let me know in the comments below. To participate, simple put the button below on your blog's sidebar, post your entry and leave me a link in the comments below, so I can find the entries easily. You may also email them to me if you feel more comfortable that way.

Think. Read. Write. Dream.

All entries must be posted by midnight, your time, on August 31st. Please make your entries family friendly - no swear words!

If you have any questions, ask me in the comments below or email me at:
bethan{dot}thinkreadwritedream{at}gmail{dot}com
Same thing goes for if you think I've missed something out.

There won't be a prize because of shipping cost and such, but I will do a post announcing the winner, along with a 2nd and 3rd place, and possibly an honourable mention. And if you want to, you can do a guest post on this blog, but if you'd rather not, then that part isn't necessary. :)

Thanks for reading. I hope you decide to enter! ♥

      That's fine, those categories were merely examples. :) It's sort of what I meant by the paragraph thingy - like, it isn't a story or a poem, it's just a little bit of writing. I love it, it's beautiful. :)
      I also love your new blog design - gorgeous!

      Wait, so I was thinking about the format... Is it okay if I write it in a letter sort of form? It'll still tell a story, but the format will be different...

      Hi! Well, I tried to write a letter, but it turned out real long.... but then I decided to write something else! And my original idea I'll probably post on Figment when I'm finished. XD
