The '15,000 Words in a Month' Challenge

Hello all. A couple of things. One is about  the 15,000 word writer's challenge we discussed at the last meeting. The challenge is thus: You are to write a total of 15,000 words over the month of January (Approx. 500 words a day). On February 1, you submit your writing  to the circle. (person to be determined). You may write on any subject you choose but you should write one continuous story. As opposed to a series of short stories or poems, for instance.  The purpose of the exercise is to  work on story construction, continuity, and basically getting to work and improving writing habits. This is a good opportunity to start a project you've had in mind.

TIP: Don't spend too much  time editing. Just get it down.  

If you finish the challenge, you will be awarded this incredibly wonderful certificate from the Writers Circle.  Cool, huh?

Another thing; some people would like to know how to add a picture to their blog post. Here are the steps:

1. Click on Sign In on the blog site.
2. Click on the 'Posts' button page left
3. Click on the post you want to add a pic to or click on 'new post'.
4. Place the cursor on the post where you want the pic to appear.
5. On the menu bar running across the top click on the add picture button (square with little mountains on it)
6. Click 'upload from computer'
7. Browse to your pic location and confirm
8. Pic will appear on your post at the cursor point. You can change the size, add captions, and other things if you wish.
9. Update the post with the button on the top right corner or publish if it is a new post. 

Conversely, you can always send me the pic and I'll post it for you. 😊
