Well, for my 100 daily words, here are the finalized rules for this contest:
If you are planning to participate, simply make a post with the following title:
Tek's Writing Challenge: [YOUR CGALLIANCE USER NAME OR REAL NAME]
When I see your thread I will sticky it. Your thread has two purposes:
1 You post to it every day over a period of 7 days. Each post should make it clear that you have written at least 100 words that day, and if you don't have a good reason to do otherwise you should post samples of what you've written. YOUR POST ITSELF DOES NOT HAVE TO CONSTITUTE 100 WORDS, it just has document that you've done so.
2 Others can respond to your posts. Responses must fall under two categories: A) Critique or advice about the writing samples or writing in general; B) Encouragement (including good-natured humor). Please don't abuse the latter - these threads are going to get long and we don't want people to have to weed through spamz to follow the writer's progress.
This challenge is now open and I'd encourage participants to start right away. I will keep this challenge open through the Summer, until August 1, 2007.
One final note - There will be a special reward for anyone who decides to continue contributing to their thread for another three weeks, for a total of a month of contributions. You will be automatically eligible to participate in group writing projects. And it just happens that I'm planning to start one of those on August 1. Contributions after the seven-day challenge will NOT have to be consecutive (this is a change from what I originally posted). They just have to be reasonably regular - let's say, no more than three days without posting excepting an emergency or extenuating circumstances.
