Simple challenge # 1

Today I challenge myself and whomever wants to join me, to a challenge.  (75 points for completion within 24 hours.)

During the preparation of a simple meal or snack list the following words pertaining to what you are doing

  • 10 adjectives
  • 5 verbs
  • 5 nouns
Next, take the 20 words you listed and write a short paragraph using all of the above words.  You may choose to write about let's say…the grilled cheese sandwich you just made, or use your imagination and use the same words to describe an old boyfriend or girlfriend.  

25 bonus points if you complete both challenges!

No cheating, and have fun with it…but remember there IS a deadline.  Tick…Tick!

There will be 500 points possible by the end of the week-that is if you complete 5 of the seven writing tasks, plus all bonus points for challenges.  You may choose to complete all 7…in that case, an extra 200 bonus points are available.  

I haven't worked the bugs out yet, but i'm thinking I will add bonus points for word count on a novel, time spent on a song or poem-anything that gets me, you, us, and anyone WRITING!

Until I figure out how to do some things…you may post your completion in the 'comments' section for verification-or just be honest with yourself!  We are writers after all…we make a lot of stuff up all the time…we owe ourselves a bit of reality!

The first one to 20,000 points wins!   

"Until it is on the page…it isn't called writing…it is called thinking!"
