Welcome to Week Four of my ongoing Steemit Contest, Write FROM my Music. As per the rules, since there were less than three submissions by Friday's deadline, the rewards from last week of .402 SBD have been carried over to this week's contest, making for a current total at .882 SBD.
The two submissions by @felt.buzz and @janine-ariane are both well worth checking out:
Here is @felt.buzz's short story "Always Read the Small Print"
And here is @janine-ariane's post, an essay on her experience with this contest.
Thanks to both of these fine writers for their contributions. Here's hoping that this week will bring about plenty of entries, so that I can have the pleasure of paying out rewards to some worthy participants.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN ON SOUNDCLOUD
I've been having playback issues with Dsound and have chosen to stick with Soundcloud for this week's composition. If you prefer Dsound let me know and I'll upload the song there (I don't really like showing off work if I can't listen to the playback myself).

NON MANDATORY REQUEST: To help grow this contest, it would be greatly appreciated for contestants to use the hashtag #writefrommymusic in their posts.
Submissions deadline is this Friday Midnight EST North America. On Saturday by noon I will post the top three and then open the contest for voting of 1st place (2nd and 3rd will be based on how many votes for 1st each got, to keep it simple). This will run until Sunday Midnight. Monday 5 pm I will announce the winners and pay out the prizes.
Please note I will be checking for duplicated content. I want original stories inspired by my music.
Your support and participation is vital to keep this contest going! UPVOTE & RESTEEM to grow the prize amount for you to win!
THANK YOU FOR GETTING INVOLVED AND I LOOK FORWARD TO READING ALL OF YOUR WORK
