Life Worth Living, writers challenge for Mar 12th details
G’day Mate!
It’s Alligator Dom-d from down Under. You know from the GAFA, Meekathara, Australia here. I was setting by the billabong having a spot of tucker, watching the jumbucks and the koalas play grab arse, when it knockered me that we need to take a squizz at something. Be a cobber and help me out mate.
Give a bloke a fair go about “ A life worth Living”. Give a go to writing a corker, something that stands out like the dog’s balls, even if your pen has been dry as the dead dingo’s donger, or you’ve been feeling not the full quid. Sure you’d rather be off having a naughty or off waggin about but don’t let that stonker you mate. Don’t worry about being bodgy I am sure she’ll be apples.
So if it wouldn’t be too much of a spot of bother, be a good little ripper and give it a go. We’ll leave a shrimp on the Barby for ya if you do…..
So here’s the drum, only a dag would post it before March 12th and you’d have to be a right whacker to do it before 3:00.
So good onya and bloody hell, you’d better get started.
For the non Aussies and Kiwi’s this is the “Life worth Living” challenge. Write the piece in any style that you choose, we will post them on Friday the 12th of March at around 3:00 pm.
Please try and get as close to that time as you can. The last few have been spread out over days and days and it makes it hard for everyone to review. I realize that there are real life things and I totally get it, I am just saying as close as you can if that is 5:00 that is fine if it is the day before or after fine, just as close as you can, thx.
Of course the only thing that we ask is that EVERY participant reviews EVERY other participant’s entry. We are pretty good at this but last time we fell off a bit. So please take the time to review and comment on your fellow “challengers” work.
Please message the priestess or I if you plan to participate and well… G’day mate.

I don't get it. Please when you're writing about contests can you write in regular English and not colloquial language, I never am able to understand it and it’s frustrating.

Re: Life Worth Living, writers challenge for Mar 12th details
LOL, sorry that you don't get it.
Each time we do an Invite, I try to write it in a different style, and we are many in now so it gets a bit harder each time.
The jist is that this challenge is the "Life worth living" challenge. Write a piece in any style that you like around that theme, title it as "Life worth living" and post it on the 12th as close to 3:00 US central time as you can.
As to whether I will be writing them in more plain english, I don't think so. This is something that Priestess and I do for and with the WN community and it is a helluva lot of work to get invites out and coordinate this whole thing. The invite is just a little fun for me and it is meant to be playful each time. At the end of each one I try to recap the idea and the challenge in plain English.
Hope you will be able to join us.

Hope you can participate Bloomhun dear.
Dom, I will be transferring points to your account this afternoon, right after I get back from smacking around my pool balls. LOL

That was freakin' hell of a deal piece of invite! loved it to the core. The invitation itself is so motivating me to participate.
Question: In what form does it have to be ? I like to write short stories can it be in that format ?
Nice Work Dom!!! :clap:
