100 Words Contest

This is a Free to Write contest, hosted by [Emily]!



Rules

This is a contest that is slightly confusing, but totally worth doing.

You must write a paragraph following these terms:

- 100 words exactly in length, no more and no less.

- No repeating of any words. This includes 'a', 'the', 'it', 'I', 'me', etc.

- Themes?: No theme. It can be totally random. Go from space to the wild if you want to.



Purpose

The purpose of this exercise is to see what you can do before you have to crack out a thesaraus and/or dictionary. I suggest that you try this exercise monthly, yearly, whatever, but do it more than once. See how far your vocabulary can take you!



Scoring and Info

I will score based on if you followed the rules, and then content. It's okay if your paragraph is random, I will not bias you on if it all fits in a nice little compact theme or not. Grammar and punctuation is a given. Any errors in spelling or grammar will dock points. Creativity will earn you more points.

1. Paragraph form only.

2. Original work only, please copyright.

3. Spellcheck, grammar, the regular will help you in points or harm you in points, depending on how you use this godly power.

4. 100 words only. NO more, NO less.

5. Deadline is January 29th, 2006.

6. Submissions with overt sexual themes may be okay, but they should be privately messaged to me, ([Emily],) for review.

For an example, see 252.Miscellaneous Material.Wonder Sitting on the Docks

Prizes

I'll read and discuss a work of yours, any length and at almost any time. A friendship may also be involved!
