Hi everyone. This weeks aphorism contest topic is Politics (or anything related, especially current events.)

  • Submission must be in the form of an aphorism.
  • Please reblog this post if you participate (or support it!)
  • Please do not write about WriteClub.
  • Contest ends Thursday 10 pm EST.

I’ll be featuring the top 3 submissions and the best aphorism gets a featured paid highlight.

To kick it off here is an aphorism I really love by Gilbert Keith Chesterton,

Thanks for participating, have fun.

  • Creation requires solitude
  • a space to break down
  • a space to build up
  • to give form, to give function
  • to give life to an idea
  • to give to strangers a gift
  • normally reserved for a lover

The easiest way to learn someone’s secrets is to notice the themes in their scrutiny of you.
