Explorations In Reading, Writing, and Publishing
Back in June of last year, I started the Writing Challenge ~ Use The 1200 Most Common Words To Write A Story…
You can find the list of words in that last link.
My first mistake was to say, “To Write A Story”, instead of “In A Story”—folks could think I meant they had to use Only the 1200 words…
However, in the post, First Response To Our Writing Challenge, Gwenette WriterSinclair wrote the first chapter of a story using the first 100 words.
Time went by………
In the Comments of that last linked-to post, Barbara Blackcinder wrote a chapter of a story but used words 1100 to 1200.
I made my second mistake in the post, More from The Writing Challenge With The Most Common Words.
Barbara had added another chapter and I put them both in that last post.
Since she had started at the end of the list, I thought she was working from the end of a story to the beginning—Wrong!
Recently, Barbara added 3 more chapters and I finally have them in the right order:
Download Barbara’s first 5 chapters as a Word .doc or an Adobe .pdf.
Will Barbara continue her story?
Will Gwenette ever come back??
Are you game to take the Challenge?
