Write me a letter- one to your mom, one to your children, or write one to me about your experience with your mother or about being one. Ignore everything except how you feel when you write it- good, bad, jumbled, sweet, real. I just may have something for you.

bonus if your banner pic is the dog- no dying dogs no sad dogs- just tell me about your dog... a lil biography of a dog you have or had and why he or she is worthy to be written about. One winner will be chosen- but I also sling juice.

who? why? How do you apply their story to your life?

Scroll through my page- find a read, and write me a letter in response to reading it in any tone you like.

what are you looking forward to with the next season soon upon us? Something coming up or something getting behind you?

A fellow writer on the site passed on 'The Prose' to me back around 2017. Lots of changed since then. Most recently, I have enjoyed playing games, getting involved in the discord group- and the youtube channel is coming along nicely since it started not long ago. I like to think of 'The Prose' as a creative outlet, space for inspiration and hopefully where I may be inspiring others at times- somewhere to slap something up for a grin and for late night searching for 'something' to read not knowing what I am looking for. I sometimes describe the site as my 'pocket' for keeping starters, dropping lil nuggets of silliness, or throwing out things to the writing family that is the body of 'The Prose' just because it is a great place to do so. Over the years, I have sold some of my work, made and paid out from challenges and tips- I have met some awesome writers, and made a few friends. There are other writing corners out there in the big www, and all a bit different. So... what how do you 'The Prose'? What do you enjoy the most of the site, how long have you been here? What does it mean to you?

As we are in the 'ber' months, I'd like to start a little fall/winter mixer of sorts. Each day, starting now- I will post a way to interact as we count down to one of the most anticipated days of the year. As the game moves on, the prompts may get a bit more TRICKy--but for those who participate, a TREAT will be in-store... Today... use the portal of 'Haiku' I will share our opening game's art on the discord, or you can swipe it from here. Use this AI created jack-o-lantern patch as your muse for your post banner (however you'd like to line it up or format it) then create a dual Haiku- the first reflecting on the image, and the second declaring your entry into GOB!!! Available points for play one: +One point for playing day of posting +One point for post with the most likes +One point for whichever post I favor ..... as play goes on can you lose a point if you miss a direction or clue?? hmm Don't worry, I will be keeping score To those who will be participating- Welcome to the Games Of Bers!!

who in your personal life is an absolute full on liar you choose to love and why?

100 words, describe the room you are sitting in writing right now.

Over the summer I threw up a post titled 'tomato sandwich' My challenge is for someone to write the first part to what I posted. Tag me if you like, but I will get to reading them all by Halloween for your $20 treat. I will take likes into consideration, but will ultimately choose the person who sets the stage best. Should be a fun one. https://www.theprose.com/post/748676/tomato-sandwich

I try and write for every challenge I can before the dates end. I hope you will take the time to enter this one. I offer you the opportunity to share what in your life right now is a challenge to you personally, and what was something in your 'before' that you thought at that time was just as big of a challenge for you, but now is not? Any form- cause that ripple effect. Winner gets a a gallon of gas- all entries get to inspire and hopefully be inspired.

Write a poem about Jesus- but describing him as something that is translated through your senses, maybe as the pleasing aroma of mountain air, the taste of fresh figs, the feeling of holding an ice cube too long... Match your relationship with him to the relationship you have with whatever you chose to describe him with- make it personal and true to your own experience. A prize will be awarded.

Use your imagination to name, and describe a new color WITHOUT using any other color or shade in the description. Have fun. Try and remember to tag me, or I won't see all of your creativity. There could be juice in your future. :)

Winning challenges here are fun. Winning anything can be fun, but when you put not just your work, but also yourself into something you have created, it is such a sweet reward. I have lost, but and especially here on Prose, I have won. So, I would like to know about something in your life you have won and how it felt prior and after. Keep it clean, and tag me because I won't remember to look. I am using some prize money to juice those who have earned perhaps the smallest of wins but have been overjoyed even in something that took hard work for simple acknowledgment. xo

Write a poem about being in love with an appliance in your home. Nothing sexual in nature please. Be silly or serious but end every poem with 'and that is why I love you' please tag me in submissions. :)

:). Hello writers. In the states an old tradition that dates back to some really cool history (depending on who you ask, I am somewhat of a dork in my special interests, one being history) and which has drawn a lot of attention in recent years... the changing of the clocks. Where I am in the US we 'spring' an hour forward when winter is at an end and we 'fall' back an hour as we transition into winter. SO my challenge is... you are given one extra hour Sunday night November 1st of this year at 2am. How would you fill that 'extra' hour, what would you do during this sanctioned time traveling? I plan to send a lil 'juice' to my favorite. Have fun and I look forward to responses! :) Oh... ya know what...If you are someone who has in the past voted (yes it has been on a ballot or two) and you feel strongly about the abolishment of the tradition, please by all means state your case... but please live in an area that is effected by the practice. Perhaps 'juice' will come to a great argument as well. yeah!
