I'm thinking about entering a contest, where the choices are visual arts, poetry, and prose.
I'm not much of an artist, and I'm not a poet (yes, I know it), but I'm confused about the prose. It has to be less than a thousand words, but define prose to me.
I'm told it's simply just regular, everyday writing. Like fiction, and comments, and critiques, and yada-yada. But ... is there something I'm missing here? Some prose-y rules that I'm not knowing of?
I've never really been taught the proper definition of prose, so I was hoping someone may be able to help and provide an example (or many examples) of prose, just to clear up my confusion.
