Challenge 2008-09

MiLords & MiLadies

Thank You's go out to everyone who participated in the Challenge 2008-08!  Wow!  What a turn out!  I'd also like to welcome all of the new members the blog ring received!  I can only hope that this new challenge will have as large a response as the last one.  This was once again suggested by REDPOPPY1.  She's one of my long time friends here on Xanga and she always has excellent ideas! Thanks so much Rita!  Here is the challenge (in my terminology):

MY REALITY TELEVISION PARTNER

Imagine you have been selected for a reality television show i.e. Big Brother, Survivor, et all.  You have to choose someone to share this experience with,  your own partner.  Who would you choose?  Why?

THE PARAMETERS:

NOT YOUR BEST FRIEND or a relative, but someone who has intrigued you, who you would like to get to know better.  Tell us why this person intrigues you, the motivation behind this choice.  They could be your local tradesperson, your dentist, the chemist, even take it so far as to choose a celebrity if you like....get my idea? I thought it could be interesting as a follow up to this present challenge, revealing yourself, revealing what makes you want to know about other people, and why.  Why them?

The Timeline

You have until the end of May to complete this challenge.

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.

Challenge 2008-8

MiLords & MiLadies;

Well, the last challenge wasn't a big hit.  Let's see if this one does any better.  Here's your new challenge:

DEFINE WHO YOU ARE

Here are your parameters:

This DOES NOT mean what you do for a living, or who you are in your family.  I don't want you to write about being a Father or Mother or Daughter or Son.  In fact, leave your family and your job out of this entirely.  I want you to tell us what makes YOU tick.  How do you see yourself?  Are you talented?  Frustrated?  Happy?  When you think about this definition, think about YOURSELF.  What makes you who you are?  What dreams do you think about?  What does it take to let you feel that you are worthy or good or respected?  Who are you?  Make this your own.  You can write or post pictures or put up your art or poetry, whatever you like!  We love seeing it!

You have until May 15th.

Remember, if you post protected, you MUST leave this entry public or I will not link you.  Tell me when you've posted so that I can put up a link for you.  Go to as many contributing sites as possible (that shouldn't be too hard if you noticed the last challenge!) 

Please put a link from your site to THIS site.  That way we can get more people in our blog ring.  If you don't know how to link, go HERE for instructions.  This will tell you how to make words into links.

Remember to star those that you read, and, if it's worth others reading, hit that recommend key!

Enjoy yourselves and if you think you'll like this challenge, leave me some stars too!

Challenge 2008-7

MiLords & MiLadies:

Welcome to the newest challenge.  With Spring upon us and Summer not far off, it's time to start thinking about vacations.  With that in mind, my question to you is this:

What's the best vacation you've ever had?

You can post pictures, write a poem, story, or just a description of this vacation.  You must have actually gone on the vacation though! Did someone go with you or was it an adventure you had on your own?  Was it a family affair?  What did this vacation teach you about life, love or the world?

Leave your link here or just let me know you've posted so I can link you.  Remember to comment on those who have a link here.  And if you're blog is protected YOU MUST MAKE THIS ENTRY PUBLIC otherwise I will not link it.  Also, please remember to make a link on your own entry to either this site or the blog ring so everyone know's where you got the challenge from (I do so appreciate it!)

You have until the end of the month and you may start now!

Writing Challenge 2008-5

MiLords & MiLadies,

Another great response to the last challenge!  And I'd also like to wish a warm welcome to our little Court to those new members from the last two challenges!  May your days here be happy and bright!

I have been vacillating again.  Giving many hours of thought on a daily basis as to what our new challenge should be.  It was getting down to the wire, and I still felt the pressure of not having a decent challenge for you.  One stuck in my head last night, but I was unsure of it.  In that panic stricken state, I went to my only other source of ideas close at hand, my daughter.  The idea she came up with is a good one and I like it very much, but it in the interim I came up with an idea myself.  What I've decided to do is to post all of these ideas and leave them all up for the entire month.  You can do them all in one shot if you prefer, or do one for this 2 week period and another for the last two weeks of the month.  I do ask that you do at least 2 of these challenges! 

Here are your 3 choices:

1.  Luck 'O the Irish

Are you lucky?  In love?  Financially?  Just how does your luck run?  Great?  Bad?  Do we make our own luck or does fate have a hand in it?  Tell us what you think about "LUCK".

2.  Greatest Pet Ever

Tell us about the best pet you ever had. . . whether as a kid or an adult. Do you have a great pet story?  Precious pet pictures?  We'd like to see them!

3.  Atta Boy! (Girl)

When do you give yourself a good old fashioned "Atta Boy" (Girl)?  What makes you feel like you've done something good?

There you have them!

Remember to post a comment so I know you've posted.  Either leave a link address here, or I'll get one from your site and I'll link you from here.  If you visit here once per day, it's pretty easy to keep up with the commenting on those sites who have posted!  Don't for get to give stars!!  Even on THIS entry!  I like stars too!

Make these challenges your own. . . I love seeing your individual styles!  Most of all have fun with these challenges!

You can start now!
