Another Writing Experiment!! see first post for rules!!
« on: February 03, 2007, 10:52:57 pm »
This is an experiment. I took an online writing course this fall and this exercise was very fun.

I am not going to tell you WHERE we will end (for reasons that will become obvious later!) Please follow the rules to the letter....they do have a specific purpose... ;)

Step 1!!

each member needs to gather up words...any word that interests you, that you like (or hate for that matter), action words, descriptive words, names, you need at least thirty-forty. Post them here ....you don't have to add all at once. Just come back and add to your list using the modify button. Remember, the more words you have the better!

I will give you a week to get them together!

Rules!

1) keep it clean please! no profanity.

2) you have to finish your list before next Sunday. 2/11!

--Edit:  I added the word deadline to the calendar. --Lynne

Nope! I'm just an obsessive-compulsive soul!  And it's only 18 ;)

Question:  Do we get linking verbs, conjunctions, prepositions, etc..for free?
