Good afternoon!


Have you heard of �mapping�? It is a technique, to develop fictional writing. Mostly used for story/novel writing, but it can also be applied to poetry. It is a great way to develop your creativity and find new sources of inspiration.

Good morning!

We had the pleasure of enjoying some wonderful pieces for the last challenge. Oxymorons can certainly be fun!

Now this week�s challenge is a little different.

As writers, we have to play many different roles to successfully market our works. From sales persons, to marketers, to advertisers we have to manage to develop a series of skills to promote our work and make sure someone gets to read it. I believe as writers, our ultimate goal is to have someone to �listen� to what we have to say.

What would you say if you had to sell a concept that people do not think about too often? Concepts that are embedded deep inside of us, and that as writers we usually ponder many times. How would you make someone �buy� them?

I hope you have fun and enjoy it.

Have a great day!

Good morning!


The last challenge was short, but we all got some good laughs out of it. Hope you got to enjoy reading some of them. ;)

Have you heard of oxymorons? They make for some great word play. Check the new challenge and see for yourself!

Enjoy!

Good morning!


Did you get to see the responses to Challenge #6? The messages that everyone developed were excellent, very powerful. Everyone managed to represent so much of our culture in so little words!

Challenge #7 is up now. Have you heard of �Le Parisiene Motel�? It�s a cheap youth hostel, with a lot happening around 1943. Check it out and see what you can come up with ;)

Have fun creating!

Good morning!

It�s Friday again. Isn�t that awesome? Ah, nothing like the weekend to enjoy some time of relaxation and having fun with our close ones.

This week�s challenge is still up, and a few of our fellow writers have posted some great works! If you�d still like to post a piece, you still have time.

The writers that have already posted need your votes for us to decide all together which piece to feature as the �winner� Just select your favorite and let us know on the forum. We�ll add up the votes and post the winner on Monday.

"List of Participant Pieces" Let�s Vote ;)

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Good morning!

Last week�s response to the Palindrome�s challenge was awesome. If you haven�t had time, you should try to check some of the works created. I was delighted to see how much talent we have around here!

The new challenge is up, Challenge #6. This one is a whole different cake, it�s called: 101 years in 101 words. Have fun!

Hope you are having a great day. : )
