The childhood taunt "It takes one to know one" has annoyed us all at varying points in our lives. This week, attempt to encompass that saying without actually saying it.
Your entries are due on Saturday, any time. And to update the rules a little bit: this week, if you don't enter an entry, it is an immediate elimination.
Hello, since you've entered my contest, I give you the first prompt :). Sorry about the tardiness and I promise it will not happen again.
"What hath night to do with sleep?" --John Milton, Paradise Lost
Your story this week should ideally take us on an adventure in the span of the time between sunset and the break of dawn. One catch, these events must strictly take place over the course of a single night and the word 'Rome' must appear at least once.
1,000-10,000 words please. But remember, entries will not be evaluated on quanity, but rather, quality.
Use your unique writing style, apply your own special twist, and please the judges... And you might just reign supreme this week... and most possibly over all!
Entries will be due Saturday, April 27 at 12:00 PM EST.
There will be no eliminations this week-- but a good start does not hurt.
I know you don't. But I think everyone has people that dislike them, no matter how sweet and lovely they are. I know I have PLENTY of people that dislike me, and I like to think of myself as a somewhat kind individual. But if you're just natural instead of coming off as trying too hard, more people will like you than dislike you.
But really, you should live for your life for you. You shouldn't worry about what other people think about you or whether they like you or not. That's not fair to you.
I know what you mean. It can be a difficult thing. And I know this is cliched advice, but maybe just be yourself. Don't worry about how others are perceiving you, and just live your life the way you want to live it. You'll feel a lot less stress placed on yourself.
