A) I will not overcorrect. Simple spelling mistakes will be adjusted, of course, because otherwise I’d probably have a meltdown. But the point here is to post drafts, to just spit out words and concepts and share them with you all so I’m accountable for working on writing.
B) I will try to post revisions of things I like that I post as first drafts. This may or may not happen. But it’s an intention of mine for now.
C) Please feel free to post comments with feedback on my writing!
D) Most of these posts will be submitted to the Trifecta writing challenge. A description of the challenge follows: you should participate too!
“Weekday Challenge:
Each Monday at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, a one-word prompt will be posted on our home page. The chosen word will come from the Merriam Webster’s Online Dictionary. For the Trifecta Writing Challenge, we will always use the THIRD given definition. Please note the definition—we’re likely asking you to use the word in a different way than you typically do.
You should write a creative response using the given word. You must use the word in your response, and you must use it correctly. Responses with alternate forms of the word (pluralized, different tense, etc.) will be disqualified. Your response can be no fewer than 33 and no more than 333 words.
Your response can be anything—from fiction to poetry and everything in between. We’re looking for creativity, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail. That being said, we do not disallow posts for any particular reason. We’re not easily offended—you do what you’ve got to do to get your story told. Be artsy; be creative; stretch yourself. Write until your fingers bleed. We want to see your guts spilled out on the page.

Once you have written a response, you must then post it to your blog and enter your blog post’s url in the linky form on Trifecta’s home page. You must link to the post where your response is located; links to your blog’s home page will not be accepted. Please link back to Trifecta’s home page somewhere in your post. If you do not have a blog of your own, or you do not wish to post your response to your blog, please visit Trifecta Anonymous and follow the alternate rules for submission there.”
