Hello Steemians and welcome back to my blog page, here we go again another instalment of popular the creative writing competition series that i am running , this competition will be based on quirky, funny, flirty, insightful, sad, happy etc. entries from you guys - I am blown away by how popular this competition has been, you guys clearly really really like it, thank you all for the massive response, some of the entries in the previous competitions has been mind blowing, wow, okay, guys, lets keep it going, this one likely to be a record breaking one, why, because of the topic, please read on.
I start off with an opening line and invite you do describe a life experience (in no more than a 100 words) based on that opening line - not only will you get to enjoy the fun of participating by sharing your stories, there are several STEEMS UP FOR GRABS! – that’s right, the winner (s) get 2 STEEMS! and the runner up gets 1 Steem, please read on to find out how to participate, the rules, etc...
How it works:
Here is how it works, I will come up with a topic or a line and ask you to expand on it, (please read the rules section carefully so that you are clear on exactly how this works), so, without further ado, here is today’s opening line:
“ GROWING UP MY MUM / DAD ......................”
[win Steems Prizes!] Source
So, you take that line as an opening line and build on it.
The Rules:
• Keep it short, your entry should be no more than 100 words, this is so that people do not find it too tasking to read.
• Upvote this post – the prizes are going to be given from my own pocket for the first 2 competitions, but going forward I would like the competition to generate its own pot and this is where your upvotes would help, the bigger the pot the bigger the prizes that we are able to give out in the future so please, remember, remember to upvote.
• Resteem – resteeming is one of the key rules of this competition, resteeming is a key criteria for participating.
How the winners will be picked:
• The winners will not be decided by me, they will be decided by you guys, if you read a entry that you particularly like then just type the word “vote” in the comment section of that entry, you do not have to upvote the entry, (upvote the competition though) just type the word “vote” in the comment section. That’s all.
Transparency:
• The winner of the competition will emerge at the end of the 7 days run, as soon as the competition closes I shall be sending the winners winnings to their wallet, once this has been done I shall be leaving a comment in the comments section to say that it has been done.
*******Caution*************
Strict rules will be applied, especially rules pertaining to upvoting and resteeming, if these rules are not observed then you will automatically be disqualified and the first runner up will get the prize.

Hi! I am a robot. I just upvoted you! Readers might be interested in similar content by the same author:

dear cheatah, the similar content that you are referring to was also authored by me, it is a competition series that i am running and some of the rules and regulations of it remain the same
dear all, i have already spoken with cheetah about this comment and they have promised to remove it, i am just waiting for that to happen
@cheetah frequently comments on contest posts. There is nothing wrong with that. She gives you an upvote as well.
@cheetah is a tool for @steemcleaners and the community to use. By commenting she is just recognizing that you have indeed posted a previous contest.
If you want whitelisted you need to either only post contest related posts on your blog or create a separate account for the contest. I would be happy to help you set up another account.
no thanks, i dont want to whitelist nor do i want to create a seperate account, what i want is for this comment to be removed and for cheetah to stop defaming me, i work v hard for my reputation on steemit and i will not have it besmirched by this bot, perhaps your bot doesnt know what plaigarism means, it means trying to pass somebody else's work off as your own, how can i plagiarise from myself, this is totally unacceptable
@cheetah this is nothing short of bullying, u cannot come into people'd blog, besmirch their reputation and then use that as leverage to ask them to do things - this has to stop - i would suggest that you take your bot down till u have perfected it rather than using it as a tool to intimidate people in this way, why on earth should i have to create another account because of your bot
@patrice @anyx @everyone, i have tried to get this cheetah comment removed, first they promised to do it asap, then they came up with these list of demands that you can see from @patrice , the other post that they are saying that this post is similiar to was also penned by myself and since i cannot plagiarise my own work then clearly this cheetah comment was made in error, rather than admit their error however, and remove the comment as they promised, what they have been doing is make threats, preen and lionise
i have been trying to find out who to report this bot and the people behind it to but so far i have had no joy, this ladies and gentlemen is the downside of this whole decentralised system , there are people that have grabbed power from the onset and they are now abusing that power wholesale. this is just another example of what is now proving to be a growing problem within the steemit community. abuse of power
Growing up mum and dad started struggling for whom my heart cherished most. Mum knew i adored her( she is late now), but dad knows he will always be my SUPER_HERO!
Her memory keeps me STRONGER. His strenght keeps me GOING

Growing up my mum and dad became so distanced. They stopped being the perfect couple i used to know; my mum became my father, mother, guidian and bestfriend.
I'm sorry to hear that, i was raised by my mom too.

Awesome idea
Growing up my mum and dad sold their bank shares to pay our school fees, I could remember my mum selling all her gold to help out when we needed money. I love my mum and dad and would not trade them for anything. Few of the fun but annoying things they did was waking us up early in the morning to drink this bitter medicine called Swedish bitters, I tell you, you do not want to taste that and also wake us to snap picture very early in the morning. lolz
............... ....................... ........good entry ...... u get a vote from me ...... dont forget to upvote and resteem though ................... ruuuuuuuuuuules! :)
Growing up, my mom and dad were...growing up too. I realize that now. Experiencing their growth taught me priceless life lessons. Be altruistic, do not fear, seek truth, think, pray, take action, do not argue with toddlers, laugh out loud, a lot!
Oh, and never stop growing. To stop growing is to stop living.
............... ....................... ........good entry ...... u get a vote from me ...... dont forget to upvote and resteem though ................... ruuuuuuuuuuules! :)
@ the people leaving upvotes: i appreciate the upvotes, i really do, but really what i want to see is ur entry, that was why i set up the whole thing, so, do not just upvote leave an entry also, then we are all able to enjoy your store plus u are in with a chance of winning one of the prizes - so, again, the rules are thus: upvote, leave an entry and resteem ..... very simple! :)

Growing up my mum and dad used to fight a lot up to the point that my mum reported my dad to the authorities. As a child, that's really traumatizing. It is also confusing because they love each other so much I can see and feel that but with the influence of alcohol and drugs everything is put to waste. My mum was there when my dad died and I can feel her pain. That's why whenever I hear the song "dance with my father" I really can't help but cry.
powerful stuff, i dont know what to say ..................................... ........good entry ...... u get a vote from me ...... dont forget to upvote and resteem though ................... ruuuuuuuuuuules! :)

Thank you so much!! I already received the prize.. if you don't mind me asking does your vote count? Upon counting i got 15 votes. just want to clarify if I may.
Hi, i have to be strict with the rules to be fair to everyone - there were 2 votes that voted under the word "vote" so i had to discount them because it is not clear what they are voting for, there was also a person who double voted so i had to discount that too - in all i counted 11 votes for you, and yes, my vote counts as well - i know that these may all sound like technicalities but u know what i always say .................ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuules! :)-
i see, and I respect that :) good to know at least I will do better next time. Thanks will be looking forward for the next one.
Much love to you and everyone that voted for me. I am glad i made it #kisses
