My Second SW Contest (I think.....)

Hello Friends! I have some points to kill, and have decided to start a contest! Here are the options!

1). Song Prompt. You ask me for a song, and I will put my player on random and give one to you.

2). Chose one of these starters:
- I woke up to the sound of rain pounding against my window. "Rain again?" I groaned. The weather, like my life, was becoming more and more dismal.

- She was the prettiest girl in the whole school. It was natural that she'd have the locker next to mine- I'm always reminded of the things I can't have.

- "Haven't you ever wanted to do something daring? Come with me! You won't be disappointed." Celia said as she grabbed my hand. "Let's go find us some danger!"

3). Write about Halloween. We all love it!

4). Combine any of these any way you want!

The rules are.....there ain't no rules!

Bonus if you can tell me what movie that quote came from. Bonus if you comment on one of my stories

Good luck to all and give me your best!

      DING DING DING!!! We have a winner on the quote portion! It is from Grease right before the race. You can either switch options or ask for a different song.

      I'm going to give you Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. If you don't like it let me know.

      You can change the names in the prompts, it's fine with me. I just put them there because it sounded better than (insert character name here) ya know?

    New stories only?

    Now I'm sad. I'm new to Storywrite and I have too much going on to write a story right now but I do have a story you would be sure to enjoy. It's a Halloween story called Trick Or Treat?! I know you would like it. You're tempted to read it. Don't deny it. I can tell. Go ahead take a peek. I won't tell anyone. I promise.

        Just too tempting wasn't it?

        I knew you couldn't resist. I'm sure you won't regret it. Guess what, I don't really care about the points. I just like to be included. I'm so very grateful now I won't have to cry myself to sleep tonight. Here it comes I sure hope you're not dissapointed. Don't worry you'll enjoy yourself.
        Thanks again,

    Hey Crosscountry07

    My revisions are in. I've not only placed different speakers in their own paragraphs as you suggested but I also corrected spelling mistakes and added rich text in two little spots. Wanted to say thanks again. Just thought I'd let you know. Take care.
