Weekend Writing Challenge - 7/24 - 7/27

Hey Folks!

Time for another weekend writing challenge. This one is going to be all on you. I recently took a skill I had 0 xp in and had a lot of fun writing on the topic. In three days I took it from 0 to what will equate to 25 points by writing 5 threads of 2500 words apiece... once graded. Now, that's a lot for most of you. But I thought you might have as much fun with it as I did. So that's going to be our challenge..http://www.mizahar.com/forums/topic78806.html. 0 to 100 Weekend!

Of course, you don't have to go to 100... but what you do need to do is pick a skill you have NO EXPERIENCE POINTS IN and thread your heart out this weekend and see how much you can go. I'll ask the graders to take next week and grade these threads with priority (Bonus if you yourself are a grader and grade your own!) so we can all know if there's a top dog in the dog park in terms of this competition.

You can pick any skill you want... the only rule is that you can't have any XP in it at all. I would recommend threads of no more than 2500 words a piece to break up your writing and maximize XP because of the competition. Parts 1 through however many is fine. :) Just go easy on the graders that might help out with this situation.

You will have until Monday night (7/27) at 9 pm PST. The contest starts NOW. If you have a placeholder in place that's dedicated to that topic, you can use that placeholder... just be sure you only have one post in that placeholder... the original placeholder post.... to have it count.

Sign up below with your PC's name and what skill they are going to develop in their lives. :) I will have a prize for the highest point gainer and of course for everyone else too.

Have fun!

Goss
