Writing challenge 2007-10~Life List - Wednesday June 27, 2007

MiLord & MiLadies

It's time for the 2nd challenge this month! 

This challenge was suggested to me in September of 2006 by Terri, but I've only just not gotten around to using it!  I think it's a very healthy, helpful challenge, although I do feel that it may become VERY CHALLENGING for several of our members (especially ME!)

Hi there! I have an idea for a challenge if you are interested. I have been reading alot about life lists and Ellen Degeneres even has one for her show as well as her personal life. It is a list of things you want to accomplish, experience, or do in your life.

Sounds interesting doesn't it?  Let me set some parameters:

This is a LIFE LIST,

so that's what we'll call this challenge.

You should do this as a list of things you want to accomplish, experience or do before you either no longer can, or no longer should!

Let's say that you must list 5 or more items (I don't want to hold back anyone, and I think we can all come up with at least 5!)

You can run it as a numbered list with explainations, or just as a list for yourself (no explainations needed, after all, you know your reasons!)

Be as creative as you want to be.  I know that several of you just love using pictures to help get your ideas across, and that's perfect. . .make this your own!

You can start NOW.  Make sure to come back to this site and let me know so I can link you! 

This challenge will run through the end of the month!!!!  Please put up a reminder that a new challenge is underway!  Advertising works!

A reminder to link to either this site or the blogring front page on your entries. If you don't know how to link, go to Xanga front page, scroll down to the bottom and click on "help"  You will eventually get to an area that tells you how to link to another site or how to link with words!

REMEMBER TO GO TO AS MANY SITES AS YOU

POSSIBLY CAN!  WE HAVE JUST OVER 100

MEMBERS AND GENERALLY ONLY 1/4 TO 1/3RD

PARTICIAPTE IN EACH CHALLENGE,

SO YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS! 

ALSO

REMEMBER TO *STAR* YOUR COMMENTS!!

This gives us a chance to get our sites on the equalivant to the

FEATURED CONTENT list (the new Starred lists). 

And just as another ad, there are still members who don't have their linkable mini banners!

Enjoy!

~Kween

I have my pretty blue banner which matches my blue background:) I will think a bit for  this one:) hugs..love, Lee
Posted 6/15/2007 at 8:11 AM by priorities
I have been absent, My Kween.  Can you tell me how to get the banner?  I promise to try to be better about posting now once again.  We've had some family business lately, but that's all done now.  I'll try to give this challenge a try, too! 
Posted 6/15/2007 at 9:45 AM by momsaway58
Hmmm... Please don't be offended... but I was hoping for something other than another list... I'll see if I can come up with something for this one, since I skipped the last.

I LOVE this idea!! I have to think about it, but I will definitely have mine up at the beginning of this coming week!!

I want a banner!!! I will get to this challange after the weekend.... too packed for play.
Posted 6/15/2007 at 2:41 PM by bubblysox
Okay, see this is why I am confused... but I think I have it figured out, I must not be subbed to this page which is why I only know there is a challenge by seeing other peoples site, but I am subbed now, so hopefully I will be on top of it. I will work on this post next week, early, like Monday.

Hugs, Tricia

RYC ~ Thanks for dropping by. And thanks for understanding I can actually see a way that I might be able to do this one, without it being just a list, so it's all good. And that sounds like a great idea for an upcoming challenge

Not sure what it means to have my comments starred, so if someone would like to help a newbie out, just leave me a message through my site or my comment section. Thanks in advance!
Posted 6/26/2007 at 7:37 PM by queenchris

Milady ~
Enjoyed your comment. I'm sure the internet plays a role in keeping me from cross stitch but I actually put it aside before I accepted the fact I had to wear reading glasses (heh). I'm thinking of making the ocean thing a 5 year goal - got do it within 5. That gives me time . I'll check out the web site & see if it'll help me with organization. As for happiness & loss... Yes, I think my daughter would want me to be happy.... May your week be filled with brightness.... And I shall take my leave of you... peace & smiles

Writing Challenge 2007-09 - Friday June 15, 2007

MiLadies & MiLord,

I have been delighted to see so many new faces here in our little blog ring since we began way back in October of 2005!  We started out as a smallish group, but have grown steadily during these many months.  When we first started, I put up as one of the first writing challenges a little ditty I called "Getting to know you Queens". Because we have a Lord in our midst. . .I have changed the name to something more appropriate.

In this exercise, I asked questions of everyone as a "get to know" each other.  With so many new members, I'm reissuing this easy challenge.  I encourage even the members who have been with me from the beginning to do this challenge as the newer members never saw your first entries!  This is the first of 2 challenges we will attempt in June and will last through the 15th of this month. 

Remember to go to as many sites as possible

and to give them *STARS*. .

"Getting to know your Royalty"

1.  What are you Queen or Lord of?

2.  How long have you been a queen or lord?

3.  How many subjects (if any) do you rule over?

4.  What is your favorite past time?

5.  If you ruled the world,

 what would be the first declaration you        

      would make?

6. What is your favorite precious jewel or stone?

7.  What is your preferred salutation?

(ie-my lege, my queen, my Lord. .et all)

8.  How would you describe your "royal presence"?

9.  What is your most secret dream

(real or imagined) for yourself?

10. Have you a Lord or Queen in your castle?

Don't stress M'Lord and Ladies. . .

this is for having fun!~Kween

Your Majesty (*thinking "what is the proper title?"*), I displayed promently my posting concerning this challenge on my site yesterday. It was my understanding we should put a link in our comment. I don't know the proper way to link (*looking for computer class book & giving up looking right now*). This should work for now: http://www.xanga.com/peacenow/595140476/item.html I need to brush up on all things computer! Have a wonderful day. peace

Posted 6/7/2007 at 9:40 AM by peacenow

It appears you have a great following. Maybe soon I will be one of many. Have a great day. peace

Posted 6/4/2007 at 11:7 AM by peacenow

Greetings! I am so pleased to find someone else who watches Hereos . The show is very addicting! I will message my email to you. Thank you so much for the offer of putting it on for me but I will try to do it myself with a little help from a loyal subject . I have to tinker with it and figure out the best place for it. If we can't get it on then I will plead for your assistance. Have a wonderful day. peace

Posted 6/5/2007 at 12:54 PM by peacenow
You are most gracious, milady! I will post my Queen post in a couple of days since I have already posted today. So many of the mini banners are wonderful. I love them but was instantly drawn to #7 so I must choose it. As for the name I think just Peace will do. Thank you! Have a great week. peace
