Getting Myself Organized Again

Since reading week just started and I've been dealing with annoying amounts of emotions, I'm going to be diving back into writing. And since I'm a contest whore and have entered 50 billion, I need to get myself organized. Again. Because I've entered more contests since my last blog and I didn't do well with the whole organization thing last time.

First off, I have a contest that I'm currently hosting:
Picture + Lyrics Contest
Deadline: March 18th.
The title basically says it all. You'll get a set of lyrics and a picture and you have to write a story based off of both of them. So many lovelies have already joined and it makes me really happy. But I'd always love more entries!

And now the contests I have entered don't judge my addiction:

Song Contest
Deadline: February 14, 2016
Prompt: Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley
Story: None yet.
I switched my song for this contest and I have a good idea of what I'm going to do, because lord knows I can do the cheesy romance stuff, so it's just a matter of getting it written.

100 Sad Songs Contest
Deadline: February 20, 2016
Prompt: Afire Love by Ed Sheeran, Small Bump by Ed Sheeran, Cancer by MCR, Before You Start Your Day by Twenty One Pilots
Stories: None yet.
This contest is definitely going to be a challenge. Each story has to be 2,500 words and there's 4 stories, which is more than I've written in quite a while. The songs are inspiring though, so I think I can do it.

In Your Own Words
Deadline: February 29, 2016
Prompt: One of the stories submitted
Story: None yet.
I'm actually super excited for this. I got a story that's a lot different than my writing style, so I think it'll be interesting and fun to write the chapter.

Feminist Story Contest
Deadline: March 1, 2016
Prompt: Story with a feminist twist
Story: None yet.
I actually had an idea for this story and then that idea turned into a different story so now I'm just like UHHH. But I may end up turning Alive into a more full-length story??? Maybe???

Another Song-Fic Contest
Deadline: March 1, 2016
Prompt: Call Me When You're Sober by Evanescence
Story: None yet.
This song was my jam when I was younger so I was quite happy when I got it.

A Different Kind of Contest
Deadline: March 9, 2016
Prompt: Relating to a new species of things.
Story: None yet.
I have no idea what I'm writing for this yet, but I feel like it's gonna be exciting.

Guilty Until Proven Innocent
Deadline: March 19, 2016
Prompt: Crime story
Story: Doe
I got super inspired to write this story a couple days ago and got a bit of an outline going, so I can't wait to start.

Villains Have Stories Too
Deadline: March 20, 2016
Prompt: Backstory for the Evil Queen from Snow White
Story: None yet.
I changed my prompt in this contest and it made me super excited to start writing it. I have a really good idea for it.

Choose Your Zodiac Sign
Deadline: March 25, 2016
Prompt: Write a story that contains multiple different words
Story: None yet.
This contest is gonna be kinda challenging, I think, but I'm excited. The words I got were all really different so it'll be fun to try and put them together.

The Romance Trope Contest
Deadline: March 31, 2016
Prompt: Love Letters
Story: Dear Love
This is the only story I've actually started writing and I just adore it. I'm almost done with the next chapter so hopefully I'll have it posted soon. I kinda want a new layout for it though, because I don't love the one I made.

Drabble Challenge
Deadline: April 1, 2016
Prompt: The rain only made it worse.
Story: None yet.
I've known exactly what I want to write for this since I first entered the contest and I have no idea why I haven't written it yet. Hopefully I can get the motivation to actually write out the words soon.

Snow White in Space
Deadline: April 25, 2016
Prompt: Put a sci-fi spin on Red Riding Hood
Story: None yet.
Because Carissa had to tempt me with another contest. I actually have a fantastic idea for this and I can't wait to start writing it. Adventures in space are always a fun time, so I think this'll be great to write.

Twelve contests. Clearly I have a problem. But I'm excited to work on all these entries, I think they'll be really fun to write.
