Each month #Shelf-of-Friends will hold a selection of prompts for group members to choose from. We hope through this that we can inspire others to write and create beautiful works.
The contest ends November 7th.
O v e r v i e w
To evoke inspiration, we have selected a format that group members must write in; we do this in hopes of motivating members to try and expand their abilities in other forms of writing. As for the prompt, there are three things members must choose from to use in the submitted piece and to help evoke inspiration:
- a first line to be used in the beginning of the work;
- a last line to be used at the end of the work;
- a word;
- a theme* this is only for the month of october and/or other holiday-related months.
*We suggest that you use only one, but if you feel the need to use all, that is also acceptable.

This month's format: poetry.
You must choose from the following to incorporate in your work:
A Theme: Halloween; spooky, scary, haunted, etc (if you feel you have something along these lines but do not know if it is acceptable, message the group with your desired Halloween theme!)
A First Sentence: On [enter desired date]...
A Last Sentence: ...I know I never will.
or A Word: Seraph ( ser-uhf (n); seraphim (plural) ) an angel;
- or Sublime (suh-blahym) (adj) impressing the mind with a sense of grandeur or power; inspiring awe, veneration, etc;
- (n) the greatest or supreme degree;
(v) to make higher, nobler, or purer.
Please submit your work here.

*due to the fact that the points are paid for by the group admin, the estimation of how much money is available to spend on points is to be determined at a later, better date.
