HeadlineWriMo is a project for the month of December that will get your pens scratching and your fingers typing!

The basic idea is to take a headline, and the headline only, and write a poem, a piece of prose, a song, or any other type of literature piece about that headline. The headlines you write about are your choice, and you may use multiple headlines from one newspaper, so you don't have to go out and buy a new one every day.

Rules/Guidelines:
Only literature is accepted.
The piece must be based upon a headline, not an article.
It is best if you do not read the article accompanying the headline, so that your piece is based entirely on the headline alone.
Attempt some originality. Don't find an article entitled "Bitter Times Turn Better" and write a generic sappy love poem. Come up with something new!
Try and get in one each day; if you miss a day, you may choose to make up for it, or you can just skip it.
This is not a contest, this is for fun, so no prizes. Other than that, have a great time!

This project was started by ~mangachu & ~ImmortalEcstasyDream, and pimped by yours truly.

HeadlineWriMo starts on December 1st, 2008. Notify ~mangachu by commenting on this journal if you would like to participate!

_{Note: It would be nice if you submitted your pieces to deviantART! If you don't really think they're deviation-worthy, you could consider putting them in your scraps.}
