Writing Challenge 2007-17 - Saturday September 29, 2007

MiLords and MiLadies

Welcome to the 17th writing challenge of 2007!

Our last challenge went over like a lead balloon!  In fact, I'm wondering where everyone is?  at any rate, one of our Ladies submitted an idea for this challenge.  Princessgeoffrey was kind enough to share the following idea:

"I had an idea that you might be able to use as a writing challenge: everyone's Dave Barry-esque "I swear I am not making this up" story. The story that we tell of some strange experience we had that needs absolutely no embellishment because it's insane enough all on its own, such as the story of how I had to be the designated driver on my 21st birthday."

You have until the end of the month.  Remember to let me know when you have posted so that I can link you and to visit the other memebers and give Stars!

*****

Also, with Halloween on the horizon, keep in mind the Koffeen Halloween Extravaganza for this year!  Any odd, strange, paranormal, or "halloweenish" story that you have either experienced or thought of will be the subject of that challenge!

Enjoy and I hope you will all participate in this challenge!

I told a story on my Xanga somewhere, at some point,  that was quite insane...just don't know when I did...so I have to look and when I find it, and I'll repost it....I don't think too many got to read it....*there she goes, REPOSTING again! sorry, but I have to say, it's perhaps the most humorous thing that has happened in all my life....it really fits the bill for this challenge....

I'm having trouble with this challenge .... I guess if I can't come up with anything suitable I'll have to skip it. I am trying to visit folks though. peace

Posted 9/20/2007 at 8:16 AM by endlesssummer128

Halloween stories sound like so much fun!  I'll try to post when if I can, too.   Love ya! ((Hugs))

Posted 9/20/2007 at 5:39 PM by renaissancelady

ok, another RE-POST....but it is just the strangest, yet very HILARIOUS thing that I think ever happened to me....one of those moments I wish someone else could have been with me at that exact moment...well, besides my little semi-non-verbal son!!! but I tell the absolute truth...it happened just like I tell 'ya...

anyway, I hope lots of new KWEENS get to enjoy....

Posted 9/22/2007 at 12:32 PM by AroundJoy
OK, did mine! Sorry to have been too busy to participate in the earlier ones. Maybe it is just the time of year with school starting that has us all in a busy tizzy.

RYC:  I don't record mine, I probably should.

I'm so glad you came around today.  That was fun!  I wish you coulda stayed, 'cos Bubba Bo Beard showed up and co hosted for a bit, then Joe Mack (these are both "celebrities" on blogtv) came and co hosted for a bit, too!  I was flabbergasted!  It was cool.  I think you were there when beehive was there, I got him on camera...ha!  He was a cutie pie!

I'll let you know when I'll be on again.  And thanks for coming, that was cool!

Is it possible to submit a different story than the one I did earlier? On reflection, I decided that I had a better one. It's been published on my site.
Posted 9/25/2007 at 3:53 PM by jelera22
*I swear
Posted 9/24/2007 at 12:57 PM by jelera22
RYC: Thank you. I have submitted my application. :)

Writing challenge 2007-16 - Friday September 14, 2007

MiLords and MiLadies

It's time again for another challenge!  I have an idea this time. . .  Do you see those challenges listed over in my premium module? For this challenge, I'd like you to pick one of those challenges!  Any one of those listed.  If you've missed any, now is the time to pick one that looks interesting to you.

And a second request.  I've started yet another blog ring.  I've resisted telling you it until now, but I'm taking the plunge and hoping you'll jump right in with me.  The reason behind it is to attract more of the male population, so please don't think I was trying get away from all of my lovely ladies of the court.  Heaven knows I LOVE being Kween!  If you are interested (and I hope you are!) Please go HERE and get involved in the challenge I've posted, and join  the blog ring!

As always, you have 2 weeks (until 9/15).  Comment on as many as you can and give those *Stars*!

Have fun my friends!

~Kween

EDIT:

  Please go HERE

A fellow Queen has passed away.  Camping Diva was a sweet, smart, funny woman who loved her family and her lifestyle.  She will be dearly missed.

I can't believe that Jo Ann has passed away. She was a lovely lady and very friendly to me. I didn't know her well but I will miss her just the same. Thanks for letting me know.
