Jan's August Writing Challenge is back!

Jan's August Writing Challenge: Write something every day in the month of August.

Sounds tough! What do I have to do?
Write. Something. Anything. Any length. Prose or poetry. Every day. For a month. And share it.

Sounds cool! How do I sign up?
Join the august_writing community if you're not already a member
Link to this post in your LJ so that we can get as many people involved as possible
Post either your writing, or a link to your writing to the community every day in August, starting on Wednesday, August 1st, 2008.

Sounds simple! Are there any other rules?
Nope. Well, not really. It has to be creative writing - prose or poetry, of any any length, on any subject. Stuff you would normally be writing anyway counts (so, for those who write serials, that counts) but stuff you write for your job doesn't. But it can be anything. Short fiction, short-short fiction, essays, character studies, stream-of-consciousness, writing exercises (I post a different writing exercise every day during the month of August for anyone who would like to use it), sections of a larger work you have in progress, etc. Anything at all, so long as it's a piece of writing that you did that day. It would also be really cool if you could read and comment on a couple of other posts every day.

Phnee here: because ai731 is moving at the very end of August, she has asked me to be one of two co-moderators for this year, exceptionally. The other moderator will be announced in due course, once it's confirmed. I am honoured and very excited to be taking up her mantle, however temporarily, and I can only hope to deliver the same energy and devotion as she has all these years.

So I hope that all the writers on my flist will join us once again (or for the first time) and flex their creative muscles this coming August!

Hah.

I'm totally in this year, and more than that, I think I might have dragged one of my friends into it too. :)

Might want to fix the date in the post, though. Otherwise people are WAAAAAAY behind. ;)

Bwah! That'll teach me to copy/paste during the wee hours. ;)

Wow, it is just about that time, isn't it? :o

This'll be a tough year for me - Hazel's wedding is right at the end of the month, so I'll be traveling a lot. Still, I managed last year!
