Writing.Com is turning TEN! Help us celebrate with a special "Cramp Birthday Celebration" September 1 - 10!   Special Birthday Events this week will include:  Starting with the prompt posted at NOON on Wednesday, September 1, each daily winner (starting with the prize given on Thursday, September 2) will receive the usual 10,000 GP Prize. In addition, each daily winner will win another special "Birthday Celebration" prize, including but not limited to: WDC Mug, WDC Journal, WDC T-Shirt, handmade book marks (US Residents only), Gift Certificate for Signature, Merit Badge, One-month Premium Membership. Each day that you submit a qualified entry to the Cramp, you will be entered into a drawing for GP Prizes at the end of the week! Since you can enter one story and one poem each day, if you enter all ten days that gives you 20 chances to win! Prize winners will be announced sometime after noon on Saturday, Sept. 11. See "WDC B'day Qualified Entries"  to check your entry status throughout the 10 days. Everyone who enters a qualified entry for ALL TEN DAYS of Birthday Week will receive a Merit Badge. Be sure that you post a link to your Cramp entry in "Birthday Raffle" in order to have a ticket entered into the raffle for the Premium Membership! All other regular Cramp guidelines apply -- see below for complete information and make sure you follow ALL of the rules in order to qualify to win! If you have any questions, email Sophy celebrates WDC!   directly -- do NOT post them in the forum.  Hello and welcome! This forum is designed to get your creative juices flowing. 10,000 gps will be given away every 24 hours! Each day soon after NOON WDC time, one of our judges will judge post a writing prompt. The contest for that prompt ends before NOON (11:59am WDC time) the next day. All entries that follow the prompt will be judged according to the writing prompt only. This means that grammatical errors WILL NOT be a determining factor in deciding the winner! We are firm believers that far too many writers dwell so much on the grammatical portion of their writing, they stop the creative juices from spilling out of their fingers. A good writer does not stop to correct mistakes along the way. A good writer WRITES until they have extracted every bit of juice from their creative selves. Only then, does a good writer stop to edit. Keeping that in mind, this forum will get your creative mind to write, write, write! How? You won't have TIME to correct. :) The judging will be based on how well you followed the prompt and how creative you were with it, not just on how well you write. Don't expect a detailed review of your piece. You have 24 hours to write, we only have a few minutes to judge.  DAILY PROMPTS are found in posts with these words in the subject line WINNER AND NEW PROMPTThere are only a few guidelines, so please adhere to them. Otherwise, you will be disqualified.  1. All entries must be posted by link only. It is MANDATORY to use the "b-item" link. If you don't know how to use the "b-item" link, see WritingML Help for b-item for more help. In order to use a "b-item" link, you have to create a STATIC item for your entry. See "How to Enter the Writer's Cramp" for more info.2. All entries must be posted before noon (by no later than 11:59am WDC time) to qualify for that day's judging. 3. All entries must not exceed 1,000 words for stories or 40 lines for poetry. NEW: You MUST include a final word or line count in your entry post in the Cramp forum. 4. All genres, all types of writing, and all portfolio colors are welcome. All ratings are welcome also - just make sure that your title/intro do not use language higher than 13+ (which is the rating of this forum). 5. ALL of the writing prompt requirements must be met in order to qualify. 6. You may post one story, or one poem, or one of each for a total of two items each day. 7. PLEASE MAKE YOUR ENTRIES ORIGINAL TO THAT DAY'S PROMPT - previously created entries will not be considered, because the point of Writer's Cramp is to respond to a prompt in 24 hours or less, and submitting something you already wrote and had time to edit isn't fair to the other contestants. So you MUST create a new STATIC item for each prompt. This contest changes daily. Therefore, it is recommended that you add this forum to your favorites! HAVE FUN EVERYONE!
