October Challenge

Here’s a challenge that I’ve heard about.  I was going to try it out on my own, but I haven’t had a chance to experiment with it yet.  

Write a short scene (about 100 to 300 words) without using any adjectives.  

This is the mother of all constraints, I think.  It will be interesting to see what approaches we will use in place of traditional modes of description.  My only advice is to be open and take many risks.

I do have one question for the group – are we sticking to an October 1st deadline for this challenge?

Drabbles and a new challenge

I have posted a couple of drabbles on my blog today. How is everyone else going?

Since I have been volunteered for the task of setting an August Challenge, I was tempted to combine photography and writing and have you post a picture (not necessarily original) and then supply the bthousand words it is supposed to be worth. But that is complicate sooooo- – - -

The August Challenge is, in this month of the heavily censored Olympics, an approximately 500 word tale of the joys of losing.

Improvements?

While I think of it, are there any changes to this blog that anyone would like to see? Extra pages, different look etc?
