Challenge 2008-25 (!) - Thursday October 30, 2008

MiLords & Miladies:

Because Halloween is but a few days away, I'm issuing yet another challenge...(and because the last two have, how shall I say this?, missed the target?).  I think I'll ask 2 questions this time.  Here Goes:

1.  YOUR BEST HALLOWEEEN FUN!

Tell us about the best Halloween costume, party, experience!  Have you got pictures?  Let's see em!

2.  YOUR FAVORITE HALLOWEEN CANDY!

All who were kids have one!  What's yours?

Please answer BOTH questions!  Again, anyway that pleases you!

This will run through the end of the month.

 

Remember:

 Those who participate have taken the time to join in this challenge so PLEASE make it a point to comment on each site!  Give stars!  And if you think the post is really great and bears sharing, then by all means, recommend it!

MUST DO's

You MUST have your entry put on PUBLIC.  You MUST link to either this site or the blog ring.  You MUST come back to this site to let me know that you have posted for this challenge, I will then link to your entry.  HERE is a link to making links with words if you don't know how to do it, just follow the link, it's really easy.

PLEASE DON'T

Use foul language.  Everyone is here to enjoy these writing challenges.  Please be considerate in your comments as you would like for everyone to be considerate of your entries.

PLEASE DO

Have fun with this challenge!  You can complete it in your own style.  If you wish to include pictures you can, however this is a written assignment.  Enjoy!

EDIT!!!

You all need to run, not walk, over to either Cndfrnd's or Jeri_Dee's site for some Halloween fun!  Pumpkin Carving pics from YOU, yes, YOU!  Get all the details on either of these two sites!  Join in the fun!

Sweet days and pleasant nights!~Kween

Challenge 2008-24 - Sunday October 26, 2008

MiLords & MiLadies;

I'm just going to get this out of the way.  That last challenge was an exercise in futility.   It went over like a lead balloon, like a breeze through the screen door on a submarine, well, you get the idea.   Let's try something simpler:

"IT WAS A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT....."

Same rules apply.  Take this anywhere you please.  Once again we'll see how this works as far as time goes:

@Kween_of_the_Queens - okay I understand that.

Posted 10/20/2008 at 11:49 PM by Anonymous

@mixcoolchick - MiLady,  If you read the first two entries, you would see that they had nothing to do with Halloween.  And, as I stated at the beginning of this challenge "Take this anywhere you please."  Which wouldn't necessiarly include Halloween.

Challenge 2008-23 - Friday October 17, 2008

MiLords & MiLadies:

Our newest writing challenge begins with a prompt from two authors that I enjoy.  Pick one of the two and write your own story!

You will have until the end of the month to complete this challenge (unless, of course this one flops miserably!)

Here are your choices:

1. " Embraced by stone, steeped in silence, I sat at the high window as the third day of the week surrendered to the fourth."

2.  "People's lives - their real lives, as opposed to their simple physical existences - begin at different times."

Choose one sentence to start your own story!  Or choose both and write two stories!  The first prompt is from Dean Koontz, the second is from Stephen King.

Remember:

MiLords & MiLadies

Time for a new challenge! 

Due to the economic challenge that America is facing at the moment, I thought I would ask you all a question that almost everyone could benefit from.  That being said, here is your current challenge:

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR BEST MONEY SAVING TIPS?

You can give us as many or as few as you like!  Remember to "make it your own".  This challenge will end when I stop getting comments for a few days!

Thanks! I'll see what I can do to fix it. I think I'm going to make the image (fountain) a bit smaller  to where you focus mostly on the blog and change the other image to something else more subtle.

Thanks again for all you do, M'Lady!

Hi!
I apologize if I "answer" your Challenge in the comment box... I didn't mean to be rude.
In the crises we are living, when I see people drawn by loans they can't afford, people not buying almost any food not to be kicked out from houses they can't no longer pay, old people that now is afraid of loosing all their saving from a life time, people (husband and wife) who until a few days had a life and is now both unemployed, it seems that what we can do about it, as citizens, is "stop existing".
Not eating, not having a house to live...
Thank you again for the Challenges you post.
Please feel free to also delete this comment.
Have a nice week,
Isabel

Challenge 2008-21 - Saturday October 4, 2008

MiLords & Miladies

Are you ready for the new challenge?  I'll make it short and sweet.  Here goes:

THE SCARIEST THING

Tell us the scariest thing that has ever happened to you.  It doesn't have to be about anything you don't want it to be.  Just an experience that gave you a scare.  Anything from your kid getting hurt to having an odd experience that you couldn't understand or get out of your mind.  It's October and time for telling about scary experiences!

This challenge will be over by the 15th of the month, but if it isn't doing well before then, well, we'll just see, won't we? 

Remember:

 Those who participate have taken the time to join in this challenge so PLEASE make it a point to comment on each site!  Give stars!  And if you think the post is really great and bears sharing, then by all means, recommend it!

@LeggoMyBurrito - You can do one entry as a guest, but in order to participate in  any further challenges, you must become a member.  This particular challenge is not meant to be a fiction challenge, although I do offer those on a regular basis.  I do tell everyone, however, that you should complete the challenge in any way that pleases you most, use your imagination, pictures, whatever makes you happiest.  This challenge unfortunately, is being changed today.  I determine when to change them by how many entries I get in the course of a few days, and this one has really slowed down.  ~Kween
