About You

This is a contest all about YOU.

It's going to be easy. I want to know about YOU. I will put some questions down below and you will answer at least 10 of those questions. Simple, huh?

ANSWER TRUTHFULLY.

The way I'm going to judge this is the people I think have put the most thought into the questions will win. That's all. Think about what you write. Don't put down two words. Write as much or as little as you want, but the more the better.

I don't have a limit for entries here, I'm just getting as many as I get until the contest ends.

So here are the questions you answer (number yours so I know what's what, but other than that you can do whatever).

1. What's you're name and do you like it, why or why not? (If you don't want to use your real name, username is absolutely fine!)

2. Do you like animals? Why, why not? What's your favorite? (Anything in there. More the better, remember!)

3. Do you have any siblings? If not, what about your parents? How do you feel about these people?

4. Do you know me? (Hah. I like that one.)

5. Where do you live? (This is optional. I understand some people might not want to answer it. I live in the U.S.!)

6. Do you like music, and if so, how do you relate it to your writing?

7. What is your favorite thing to write?

8. Are you a people person?

9. Do you seem to have a lot of REAL friends?

10. How do you feel about war?

11. Why do you like StoryWrite?

12. What got you into writing?

13. Do you have a friend here that you really, really love?

14. Does your writing seem to effect the people around you?

**15. Why do you write?



Rules:

A. I said you could pick any ten of those. I will probably add more. here's the thing: You HAVE to answer question fifteen.

B. THE MORE THE BETTER. Really, guys. I'm telling you, the more you dig deep the more chance of winning you have.

C. Nothing I kid couldn't read and no adult categories, thanks.

D. In your author's notes I'd like you to say why you decided to enter this contest.

That's all!

I hope to see many entries!

    Hrm...

    I find interviews to be rather limiting. My piece "Who am I?" is pretty descriptive, but I wouldn't do an interview type thing.
