Reviewers, Reviewers, Wherefore art Reviewers?
Are you a friend?
A passerby?
Perhaps someone whos just really fucking bored?
Please review our work! Just a simple paragraph on each piece, maybe even just a list of pros and cons, just something, some kind of feedback! Even just a 'I liked Number One the best'.
We are really interested to hear what you all think! This is important to us!

Delays, Delays
Not even a two weeks old in its conception the Shaun and Andy project falls behind with delays. This was on the admitted fault on behalf of one of us, though I wont say who so Andy doesn't feel too guilty... oops.
Well, if you have been following us, the pieces should have been up on Wednesday, well it's now Friday and their finally up. You will be able to find (here) our entries for Something Evil and also, as a special treat, our Reviews for each others work. We believe its important for us to keep a review going so we can help each other learn. These should have been up Monday by the way. But darn our laziness!
It's Andys choice for the next project, we are taking suggestions from you lot too but for the first few were sticking with ours. Please don't hasten to subscribe! (top left) And please follow us!
We are trying here people!.... Despite the delays!

Challenge 2: Evil
Today a new challenge has been set. This was my own, as Andy did the last one. By Wednesday 23rd we are to write a short Description of something Evil.
It can be fictional or something that has happened in real life.
It should be about a page in length.
I chose this task as I felt it would help us to work on our 'Description' while having a fun topic to write about. Description is neither of our strong points.
Till Wednesday!

Challenge 1: Romance
The first Challenge has been set by Andy. From Sunday 13th to Sunday 20th we had to write a piece of Romantic Fiction.
It should be a short story of any length and can contain anything as long as it revolves around the main theme, Romance.
Andy chose the subject as it is something netiher of us have much experiance writing about and so would be challenging.
As we are late starting the blog we have already completed the first task.
You can find our works here:
Romance 1
Romance 2
We hope you enjoy them!

First Post
The first post. Having been only a week since I started my own blog I should be used to these first introductory posts.
So, Whats this?
Andrew Cowan and Myself, Shaun Kellett, have decided to set each other a challenge. We both like to think we are 'Alright' at writing and would definatly like to improve. We are both quite inventive with good imaginations, its just that transition from the mind to the paper we need to work on. We felt that if we wrote more then we would become more creative, practice makes perfect afterall right?
This way we will find experiance in new genres and writing styles and hopefully gain some constructive crtisism.
Hows this work?
Well. Each week we will set ourselves a Challenge. There will never not be a challenge. At the start we will put a deadline down and then when the deadline is up we will issue a new challenge, taking it in turns to come up with challenges or asking other people to set them. The challenge could be ANYTHING literary, from Poetry to Reviews to Prose to Speechs. Anything at all.
The pieces are submitted via Deviantart and will be there for all to read. They will be Annoymous so nobody knows which of us wrote what. That means you yourself wont judge on who's is who.
After 24 hours of the deadline we will have read each others work and will critise it accordingly and hopefully post the critisms here.
Why should you be concerned?
We are hoping that you will all take part by reading our work, it will probably be around two pieces a week at the most, taking about 5 - 15 minutes to read. Hopefully we will have some automatic followers in the form of friends, and you will be able to post comments about the pieces on either here, the DeviantArt site, or on my own Blog. We hope this appeals to you as we really need the confidence and motivation to get more creative and actually do something usful with our free time!
If you ARE interested, and why shouldn't you be?, then feel free to use the 'Subscribe Via Email' at the top right hand corner, it is easy, simple, and will only notify you about this blog. Please do it if you feel so inclined!
Thank You for Reading.
