So, this is actually my first contest, and I know this doesn't offer a whole lot of points, but I plan on opening another one soon with way more points than this. I just want to see how this one goes.
I have entered many many contests myself, and I really like the ones that offer prompts, or songs to write about, or pictures. But of course, I like contests to be challenging. So my prompt and song on my specific topic are below.
I want a story about a soilder that leaves to fight in war, but he has to leave his wife behind. I don't care what time setting this is in; it can be current or in the 1700's. (I personally really like the current ones though.) I inspire you to look up Tiffany Alvord's Heartbreak on Youtube... your writing will definitely get brownie points. But, they will not, if you do not put this in your Author's Notes. (;
I like sad endings, believe it or not.
So here are my rules.
1) Please make sure your piece is well written. The punctuation and capialization, plus spelling should all be correct. There is spell check, you know.
2) Absouletly no erotica. I am 13.
3) Limit the cursing.
4) Nothing gay...
5) DoN'T tAlK lIkE tHiS...
6) Please enjoy! (:

I'll defnitely enter, but one thing: does it have to be a guy going to war away from his wife? in the current time period girls can too.

Yes, yes, that's fine. (:
Absolutely, this is allowed.

Hey...
My entry's in a letter format chronicling a soilder in the midst of war--but still a story within that frame.

Does he have to have a wife?
-
Curious, does it matter if the story is written in the point of view of the soldier's wife instead of the soldier's point of view?
