With all the new arrivals I wanted to offer the weekly13 challenge. The best, best way, to improve your writing is to critique others. You will find more things you can improve on in your own writing by doing this.

The 13-challenge, in the Writing Challenges is a great place to start. In one read, you can get 15 stories on the same plot, a great way to see the differences in style and voice, and the changes that come with starting a story with another scene will do or another POV. Also the mistakes we make in our first 13 are generally speaking carried throughout all of our writing.

13-challenge quickly explained:

Every Friday a new story synopsis is posted. And you have til Wednesday to post your 13 line take. Thursday morning the voting begins and continues through Saturday.

PS – You don’t have to write a 13 line to critique or vote. So, if you wanted, you could start today by voting and critquing at the Writing Challenges Section, The 13-line Intro's for Week Three,

Thanks Tiegran, I actually was never certain on how those worked, I'll definately give it a shot next time it comes up.

Should we expect a new synopsis today sometime?
