Instructions: Use the prompt to write freely, whether it be in a notepad, on a computer, or anywhere else for five to ten minutes. Don't go back to edit, don't worry about any mistakes, just write! See where your imagination takes you. Prompt: The first thing you feel is a scratchy rope digging into your arms. You crack open your eyes, and see you're in a dark room, tied to a chair. Have you been kidnapped? Trapped for your own good? Do you see anything else? Describe what you think is happening, where you are, and what you do next.

The very idea brings chills to the bones of some. For good reason too. If you've been on NaNo longer than a month or so (maybe even less), you've probably encountered tension in one form or another. Sometimes this tension dissipates in smoke with a well-timed joke or with the clarification of a bad misunderstanding. Sometimes it doesn't. So what happens when that's the case? What about those times when the funny, warm feeling you get in your head after seeing something you disagree with doesn't cool down and just gets hotter? Over time, the people of NaNo have seen this time and time again. As a result, we've come to fear the dreaded word . . . . Debate . Now, I can get into the subject of debate some other time. What I want to focus on is the reason we're so afraid of it. Sure, we can chalk it up to "...
Written by Bean_of_Spooks Saheeli wrote an absolute amazing poem for the weekly Poetry Writers Contest on Nanowrimo. I loved to read about it, because I can relate. Here's what Counted said about Saheeli's poem: my heart belongs to:(my true family), by saheeli - Man I love this poem so much. It’s so beautiful in your detailed descriptions of why you love these people, and I can feel your emotion radiating out of these words. This is so, so, so meaningful. And here is Saheeli's poem: my heart belongs to: (my true family) i: my sister, forever and always. you are the most important person in my life, though i do little to let you know that. when you were born, my heart twisted to accommodate you. i was your age then. i held you for the first time, and though i was too young to describe my feelings, i knew that i would never let you go. when you grow, will we stay together? or will we fall apart like the generation before us? i don’t th...
The world of digital art programs can be a tricky plane to navigate. Whether you're a budding digital artist looking for beginners programs to start on or a professional artist with a bunch of experience, here is a quick list of some of the more well-known names in digital art! Krita - FREE Krita is a free, open-source software that is becoming much more popular among digital artists. The interface has full customization, so you can fix it to look almost however you want.

The YWP is a forum mainly for kids aged 13 to 18 years old, and at these ages, it is hard not to think about college. The word college brings to mind endless college tours, applications, essays, and the age-old nightmare of teenagers across the world: standardized testing. For students interested in attending an American university, either the ACT or the SAT will be required. As someone who scored a perfect 36 on the ACT test, I would like to detail its purpose and function before delving into study techniques. First of all, the ACT is composed of four subjects: English, Math, Reading, and Science. Each test has a range of 1-36, and to get a composite score, all of the tests are averaged. An average score is approximately a 23, and a high score is late twenties or early thirties. The test is taken in a student’s junior or senior year of highschool and is used as a measure of how college-ready the person may be. Colleges look at the ACT scores to determine what scho...
Written by Bean_Of_Spooks TANZZ_i_like_dragons wrote a wonderful song for our songwriter's contest! I loved the images that this song gave me: Will They Hear You Now? sleep with one eye open and don't you say a word about the noise you heard they'll come for us tonight the sirens will show where they meet if our collision could maybe shatter all our luckless stars and then the fragments will all fall down at your feet did you fall apart right from the rough start? did they make you play a part not made for your soft heart? 'cause when their lights collide with your bones then all the pieces fall at their feet and all the blood of the brave couldn't pay for their cells an eye for an eye and the world goes blind where do we turn from here? when we fight fire with fire only ashes are left behind if our collision could maybe shatter all our luckless stars and then the fragments will all fall down at...
