Hello All, To encourage some web log (blog) activity, we are sponsoring a contest called ³A Decade of Reading and Writing.² The direct link to the contest is below http://blogs.writingproject.org/blogwrite24/2004/11/18#a95 When you first arrive at our weblog home page, you will see the contest posted as the first story on the page. On the right side of the page, you will see links listed under ³Navigation,² ³Postings,² and ³Membership.² Anyone may join our Blog, but you do have to join in order to post and respond. I have purchased three beautiful bound books for prizes ‹ each quite distinctive. If no one enters, there¹s one with whimsical hand-embroidery I¹d like to keep for myself. Also, I have re-designed the OWP Blog to function as an e-Anthology. For it to work, we have to have people post and others respond. That¹s the ³Postings² link on the right side. If you have a piece of writing, you¹d like others to read, click on ³Post for Response.² If you would like to respond to someone else, click on ³Chronological² or ³By Topic.² That will take you to a listing of all things posted, including pictures. Janis Cramer has just posted a piece she finished in Indianapolis and asked for comments. She¹s even brave enough to ask that you ³press² it. Check out ³Some Girls Would² at http://blogs.writingproject.org/blogwrite24/discuss/msgReader$96?mode=topic& y=2004&m=11&d=22 Wow! Long addresses.
