Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

After having searched the stores for the perfect costume, and not having found it, I myself will make a homemade witch costume. First, my mother will take my measurements and I will go to a store to buy several meters of black fabric, a hat, some stockings and some black boots. With the fabric, I will make myself a tight dress and I'll also wear a matching belt. The next step will be makeup. I think I'll wear dark eyeshadow and I'll paint my lips purple. I mustn't forget about the accessories either: some black earrings in the shape of a spider web, a skull necklace and a small coffin-shaped bag. As soon as it's done, I will upload a photo on my social networks.

I'll be right with you...
