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!
