  • deepest apologies

    I am not able to keep up with the duties of being moderator on this site.  My father has been ill and is now in a nursing home 50 miles away.  I want to visit him as often as possible so that leaves me little time for blogging.  With that said, I am going on a hiatus. I hope to be back soon with many new and exciting writing prompts for you.   Thank you for your understanding.

  • Challenge Week Nine

    Thanks to all who have participated in last week's challenge.  I was not able to comment on all the entries (even though there were only seven) because a lot of my morning computer time is now taken up by a walking program.  I imagine spring weather is the reason for lack of particpation, too.  It can't be because of my lame challenges.
    This week's challenge is to wax poetic about...a bolt.
    You can write a poem in any form you like extolling the virtues of a bolt.  It can be short and sweet or long and blustery.  Just let us know those feelings of love you have for a bolt.
    Until next week, Happy writing!

  • Challenge Week Eight

    This week's assignment is to write a how-to manual or pamphlet.  Here's how to complete this task.
    1. Decide what you want to explain.  It can be an object or a concept.  Whatever you feel may need explained in detail.
    2.From your private page here on xanga, open "Add Weblog".
    3. Write your instructions in a clear,  concise, manner. 
    4.Look over your entry.  Change what you want: grammatical errors, misspellings, etc.  Some people may want to skip over this step because they aren't so regimented (read: anal) in their writing style.  That is fine.
    5.  Once you are satisfied with your entry, post it.
    6.  Come back to this entry and leave a comment in which you link with your site.
    7. Optional:  Read and comment on other sites.
    **Note:  Your entry can include pictures or illustrations; whatever you need to describe your chosen subject.

    ***EDIT:  I am calling an end to Challenge Six.  A deep, heartfelt thank you to all who participated.  The story is good. 
    Also, deep heartfelt apologies to those who wanted but were unable to participate for whatever reason.  There will be another round robin challenge in the future.  If anyone has any ideas as to how to better manage such a challenge, leave me a message.  All comments/criitcisms are welcome. 

    Thanks, again.

  • Challenge Week Seven

    I can't believe this is week seven already!  Last week's challenge was interesting.  I loved how it evolved.  We will do another round robin in the future. 

    This week's challenge involves a photo:





    Write a story or a poem, no longer than 750 words to accompany the photo. Write your entry on your site and link it to this entry.

    · Hi Sonny, · I'm you… years in the future, I'm here to tell you a few things that might help you forgive yourself and those you hold responsible for your pain. The first thing you must do is to let go of the guilt, just let it go. You didn't choose the bikers, the field or the

    @sarahsD - Thank you.@eadie - You have until I post the new challenge Friday. I'm impressed with the success of this.  It has taken on a life of its own.  It was just an idea I had and I went with it, because I was searching for writing challenges yesterday. Evidently other people were wanting to be

    I was in a rush yesterday when I chose the theme and I basically took the first one that looked possible.  I like this one so much better.  I am working on changing the site just a little.  I want the links to be different.
