Spring has sprung! Well, almost... if you're in the Northern Hemisphere. Spring is a time for rebirth, new beginnings, and fresh faces. With that, I introduce myself to you. Your most gracious queen, Jeri_Dee, has stepped down from her throne, and I'm going to try my best to hold things down here at Kween_of_the_Queens. Should I tell you who I am, or let you guess? Hm. Interesting. If you ever have any topic suggestions, I'd be more than willing to take them. On to the topic! There's a lot of questions here. Feel free to answer one or all of them. Deadline will be the end of March. You can complete it in your own style. If you wish to include pictures you can, however this is a written assignment. Enjoy! How do the mild days and freshness of spring affect your mood and outlook on life? Does Spring make you hopeful of good things to come? When winter ends and spring begins, do you really notice the transformation of life happening all around you? What do you notice the most? The Musts: You must have your entry set to 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. I've been messing around with this. It's code to add a small graphic and link back to the original topic to your post. Just copy the text in the box and add it to your entry, if you'd like to. (You have to be in your HTML editor when you paste the code, or else it won't work. To get to that you click the "Edit HTML" check box up in the right hand corner of your Weblog Editor. Here's a picture.) I'm like 99.9% sure I did it correctly. It should come out looking like this: ![]() It links back to the topic so you don't have to add that. Totally optional. I'm not going to make you use that hideous thing, hah. If you like the idea and can make a nicer looking one, by all means, do so! Enough rambling. Enjoy the topic! Get the word out. Rec. Star. Post things. Sorry about the two time stamps. I'm still figuring out the best time to do it.

So, I've been thinking. (A dangerous pastime; I know.) This blog ring has 140 members. This site has about 220 subscribers and 125 friends. Out of the last three challenges, about 11 people on average have responded. Are the topics just not interesting enough? Are writing challenges just not interesting enough? Is Xanga dying? No really, I'm curious. Below is a poll. If you would be so kind, I'd love for you to answer it. Creative Writing The creative writing challenges will require imagination and can take many forms, fiction, non-fiction, verse, or prose. Challenges in this category will run the gamut from a simple anecdote to assignments that will ask you to look at an object from many perspectives to create a single image. Introspective Introspective challenges will require you to search for answers in your own life and experiences to form a perspective that is uniquely yours. Debate/Argumentative In the debate challenges you'll find yourself choosing sides on an issue and concisely and respectfully presenting an argument defending your points. The more ambitious and creative may choose to argue more than one side. Other Anything else you can think of that would be interesting, I'd love to hear about it. If you want to describe your idea in the comments or a message, feel free. Also! Don't forget about the challenge. You have four days left! Oo. Deadlines. Posted 3/27/2009 at 11:45 PM |
