[stylist] Monthly assignment vs. exercises

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Actually, we had always had in place the ability for anyone to post
writing assignments or exercises rather. Chris initiated some holiday
exercises last year, and a few participated. Chris is pretty busy these
days, but I know he enjoys discussions amongst fellow writers , but
anyone on Stylist can post a writing idea. As I remember, someone would
post an exercise, and once that exercise petered out, someone else would
post a new one. This forum seems to work, so, though it certainly
doesn't hurt, I don't think its necessary to create a formal list of who
will post exercises. The assignments are another thing that would work
better if more established though since it requires a bit more work on
the part of the person "teaching," and those participating in the
discussion.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

Dear Writers, Last year Chris Kuell came up with a concept of a writer's
assignment for each month. A subject was given at the beginning of each
month that we were all supposed to use as inspiration to write about. It
was a lot of fun at first. After a while it started getting a bit
confusing as others were making assignments and I think no one knew what
to write. Pretty soon it ended all together. I now make a plea to Chris
to restart this. All in favor, lend encouragement. Eve
