The Writing Impact Challenge #1

in #writingimpact7 years ago

Welcome to the Writing Impact Challenge

It was Maya Angelou that said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

The purpose of this challenge is two-fold, (1) to create a literary piece of beautiful art. (2) to write something that evokes a certain feeling so that your readers may remember how you made them feel when they read your literary piece of art.

Also, the challenge of this contest is to use more than one word in your Poem, or Story Fiction or Non-Fiction in 50- 500 words. An example of this can be found by looking at my poem (which is not an entry for the challenge) on my blog entitled, Purple, Chocolate, and Beauty.
Combining words can convey even more of your voice and the message you wish to create and express. So join me in this Writing Impact Challenge as we have some fun with words.
You may do all of the above by using the word prompt list below:

  1. Warm
  2. Stars

I have an urge to put every word in the body of text... 😂
It is so hard to choose.

I feel the same way! I'm trying to decide. I'm pretty sure I'm going to wind up using a lot more than 2-3. We'll see.

makes poem using solely those words

Yeah, or minimal other words.

I wrote one using every single one of the 50 words, it was maybe 65 words long.
It flowed well, it was magical,
I clicked cut instead of copy when I went to save it to a word document...
2 Hours later and I just can't get the magic back :o
sadness

No!!!!!

I almost did just that. I put all 50 in too. It was a laborious, yet somehow enjoyable task.
I feel your pain, I have done it before too. Link it to me when you find your groove, so I can resteem it.

My condolences.

Managed to somewhat salvage it, but just couldn't figure out how I had the last 3 stanzas, thus them being, a wee bit jarring.
At least now I know to copy the text from the preview first, and not where I'm typing it in!

Sometimes I scratch out a copy on paper, if I am sick. But often, I dangerously type mine directly into the post page, and edit a little and just hit post.
I did cut a portion of this when I intended to copy, but I realised it was a cut and not the delete I did that last time.

You're so nice for commenting on this post. For that, I gave you a vote!

What a Gentleman!

Thank you for your entry @yahialababidi, I loved it and the pics tie right in completely.

Glad you liked it, @rensoul17 & I know you’re sensitive to images, based on the stirring ones that you select :)

wow! That's nice

Wow, lovely am going to enter this contest.
Here is my entry click me

Thank you for your entry @deeclown I love it.

Hello. Do you mean each person can only choose 2-3 of the words listed in his entry or you mean 2-3 of those words must be in the title?

Both @tolustx your poem or story must contain and be about 2-3 words from the word list above and when you create your title it should include the words you have chosen to use for your poem or story. Use the poem I did as a reference for what you will create you can check it out here. https://steemit.com/poem/@rensoul17/purple-chocolate-and-beauty

Okay. Thanks.

Wish I could partake in this... But poetry and I do not speak the same language😥

Lol. What about short story?

Oh... Okay, lemme try that! Thanks

Steemit is very encouraging and inclusive of any style of word jumble... Trust me. I had never written anything creative, and much of what I still write is a subconscious mind spew . But people are so kind and I enjoy the process so much now.
Have a go.

I don't normally write to prompts, but maybe I could use a little shaking up. I'll see what I can come up with for this challenge!

very nice photography ...
i like your post very well ..
thank for sharing with us ...
& keep the top up ...
