Write Off Theme: Rite of Passage
Welcome Steemers! In spirit of Steemit's Social Media Revolution, we feel it is fitting for our first theme of the #steemitwriteoff to be about transformation.

Thank you for your support!
Such an awesome idea! I'll try to write one for the fun of it. I implore you guys to advertise this on the #fiction channel on steemit.chat as well. Tons of other writers might be interested to get in on the action as well. I hope this gets a lot of entries! I don't really care if I place, I just hope all entries get a fair shot at the spotlight, receive tons of comments from other participants, and spread creativity throughout Steemit!
Thank you, that is a great idea! I am working hard to get it out there. Hopefully, after a couple, we will get some momentum.
Wicked idea, thanks a heap for the opportunity truthmomma, gonna get started on it :)
Awesome! So excited to read it :)
I like this idea, and have something I'd like to submit, but I published it 3-4 days ago and can no longer edit. I don't want to republish while extended payouts are still going on, should I just drop a link in here to enter?
Sure, you may have to remind us as with will mostly be looking in the #steemitwriteoff
You are welcome to port your link of it in these comments if you are not able to tag #steemitwriteoff
Great idea, look forward to entering

Great idea!!
Thank you! Hope you decide to join!
I am on it. Expect a short fiction (or maybe even non-fiction) by the end of tomorrow!
Just as an aside, I am absolutely loving these collaborations and contests. I have pumped out two short stories and one chapter's worth of work over the last week, and I'm only going to be putting out more as time permits. This and others are fantastic conduits for creativity!
I love to see that this contest is inspiring people to write! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
Ohhh, now this I can get down on! I'm no photographer, so photo challenges have been out, but I do enjoy a challenging form of writing, especially one with such a broad scope! Lovely first topic, could go so many ways.....puts on thinking cap. Good luck to all!
So happy to see that you are excited about this! So are we and we can't wait to see where your mind takes us! :)
Here's my entry, and I'm already eagerly awaiting the next contest!!! https://steemit.com/steemitwriteoff/@quantumanomaly/learning-to-dream-dreaming-to-learn-entry-for-the-steemit-write-off-challenge-1
I love this idea @truthmomma I will also put 5 SBD towards the winner of this contest!
Great! Once you send it to me with a memo saying "Steemit write off" I will add you to our donor list! Thank you so much for supporting the writers!!
Thank you @raymonjohnstone the post isn't editable, but we will include you in the next post. We are most likely doing a progress post today!
