Objectives

         There are many aspects to writing a well-crafted character.


Round Five has a special theme: Music.
Instead of the regular writing prompts, a song with lyrics and a key word will be given for contestants. If you are musically inclined, this writing challenge is definitely worth attempting.


Guidelines

Pay close attention to the guidelines, especially during special theme rounds.


Standard guidelines still apply. In case of the special theme, the musical prompt must be featured in some part of your entry. If you do not place a part of the song, the lyrics, or the key word into your entry it will be considered late.

Clarification on how to use the song and focus word for each prompt.
For the song, I'm looking for inspiration of the lyrics or song. If the tone of the song struck you, but the lyrics do nothing for you, go with the tone of the song. If the lyrics work for you, but the tone of the song makes you want to scream, use the lyrics. If you use the lyrics, they do not need to be highlighted. A small note in your post or at the end of your entry works.


Deadlines


New round begins April 15th. Read up on deadlines for entry posts.
