Hello to my fellow writers! :D

I'd like to announce that my blog and I are holding our first ever writing competition! :D *cue the fanfare and the glitter*

Ok that's enough. Pipe down, y'all! ;)

The challenge is to write a 1,000 word short story inspired by a specific song. I have all the rules, details on prizes, (and how to enter! :D) etc. on my blog: Click here!

I'm very excited about this competition, and I would love to see what you come up with! So if any of you are up for the challenge, looking for some writing inspiration, or want to win a small prize for the sake of some Australian postage stamps, I would love your entries!

Let the fun begin! :D

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
