Monthly Writing Challenges

• Have you made a website? If so, write about how you made it, where you registered it, why you chose its name and/or how long you worked on it.

• Are you easily distracted? Do you get hyper-focused on certain things such as the internet? If you said yes to either or both, join the club (see "About Me" for more info). How do you cope with distractions? What can stop you from hyper-focusing? 
  

• Use the cliche -- "A dagger in the heart ...."

• Use this first line -- "He could rule the world."

• Aug. 8, 2009: Do you know much about Sonia Sotomayor?  Today,we swore in our first Hispanic Supreme Court Judge. What does that mean to you? How does her accomplishment affect you and/or others around you?

• July 14, 2009: What makes you happy?Write about anything that makes you truly happy, not just what you like. For instance, you may like money or a good meal but what can cheer you up no matter how bad your day has been?
