    What sort of competition?

    Prose, poetry?
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    I think you have to write a story using 247 words. Doesn't it give the details on the webpage?
  • PiperPiper
    I haven't looked to be honest.

    I will later once I've done my biology homework.
  • Col BCol B
    Probie,
    This could be your chance to get your writing career off with a bang.
    Go for it, gal.
  • PiperPiper
    Haha, yeah, ok.

    I've gotta win it first. :D

    You've gotta be innit, to winnit!
    If you don't buy a ticket...
    Any more cliches?
    ;)
    Speculate to accumulate...
  • PiperPiper
    Ok, can I finish my biology first?
  • Col BCol B
    Deal.
  • PiperPiper
    Done that, now I need to sort my pencil case out, then tidy the table before I loose it, then finish cooking my dinner then eat it.

    When I'm eating my dinner, I'll check it out.

    Probie, you keep 'loose'-ing things, which means to make them less tight, rather than 'losing', which means mislaying, unable to find etc. :D

    Have a go at the comp though
  • PiperPiper
    I can never tell the difference lolli.

    I will, I will look at it now.
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    How can you lose a table?
  • Col BCol B
    The hinge may've been loose.
    Probie, are you procrastinating?
    Bad habit to get into!
    ;)
  • PiperPiper
    I have NO idea what to write about.

    Great.
  • LolliLolli
    It's easy to lose a table, Jay - you bury it under mountains of books and paper! Have you never done that?
  • PiperPiper
    I have!!

    What can I write about 'When I grow up'?

    All I can think of is the song, by Pussycat Dolls.

    Not in the slightly bit helpful.
  • LolliLolli
    you could think of what the world would be like; what you will be like; how people will be educated; how the country will be run and by whom etc. Come on Probie, put on your thinking cap
  • PiperPiper
    The featured story that was on the site, didn't help me much, I have no idea.

    It might take me a few days to come up with something. But I have 'till 27th of March to do it in.
  • PiperPiper
    I think I shall leave this for now to have a think about it.

    Instead I'm going to do my letter of application for senior prefect.

    AFTER I've had my shower.
