Carlos (from Conscious Me) asked me to host the discussion for the big Pre-Writing Challenge, so feel free to dive right in.</p> <p>Feel free to start new threads within the forum, but to kick us off I've created this one for general discussion about the Challenge, <a href="http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/forum/topic/conscious-me-pre-writing-challenge-site-information">a thread for you to easily submit your site information</a>, and <a href="http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/forum/topic/conscious-me-pre-writing-challenge-important-links">a third dedicated to links to relevant information</a>. Check back on these three regularly. </p> http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/forum/topic/conscious-me-pre-writing-challenge-important-links#post-20 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 16:33:52 +0000 Aaron Pogue 20@http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/forum/ <p>This thread contains links to blog posts and pages relevant to the Conscious Me Pre-writing Challenge. I'll maintain this top-level post with a list of official Challenge links, but we also encourage you to add links to posts on your page that you might find helpful, whether they're about writing to a deadline or getting started or keeping a social commitment.</p> <p><strong>Official Links</strong><br /> Every participant's Challenge page should include the following links:</p> <ol> <li> Link html to Pre-Writing Is Your Friend - With Benefits (Part 1): <a title="Pre-Writing Is Your Friend - With Benefits (Part 1) on Website In A Weekend" href="http://website-in-a-weekend.net/creating-content/prewriting-friend-benefits-part-1/">Pre-Writing Is Your Friend - With Benefits (Part 1)</a> </li> <li> Link html to Pre-Writing Is Your Friend - With Benefits (Part 2): <a title="Pre-Writing Is Your Friend - With Benefits (Part 2) on Website In A Weekend" href="http://website-in-a-weekend.net/creating-content/prewriting-friend-benefits-part-2/">Pre-Writing Is Your Friend - With Benefits (Part 2)</a> </li> <li> Link html to Pre-Writing Challenge main page: I'll get it to you when I'm done creating it, which I need your info for. Then you can add the link and publish it and we'll launch this thing. </li> <li> Link html to forum: Same deal as above. Aaron at Unstressed Syllables has been kind enough to host a forum for us. He's doing some set up and I'll get you the link soon. </li> <li> Banner image and link: Here are the Flickr links to the banners my talented wife made (this is one of the issues discussed below if you have any concerns or questions) - <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlosandjulie/4348381949/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlosandjulie/4348381949/</a> | <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlosandjulie/4348858842/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlosandjulie/4348858842/</a>. You have total freedom to resize them as you need or desire. Ideally, this should be in your sidebar or somewhere that will send your readers to your challenge page (yes, link this to your challenge page, not my main page). </li> </ol> <p><strong>Participant Pages</strong><br /> Visit the blogs of fellow participants, and see how they're doing. Carlos also encourages you to include these links on your own site.</p> <ul> <li> <a href="http://www.consciousme.com">Carlos Velez at ConsciousMe.com</a> </li> </ul> http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/forum/topic/procrastination-thoughts-and-helpline#post-57 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 04:31:25 +0000 Dustin Evenson 57@http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/forum/ <p>So the first day is almost gone, and I have nothing to show for it. Worked the first half of my day from 8-430, then dinner and pre-birthday festivities for wife until now, 930pm. I haven'y gotten anything to paper except for this comment, maybe a log of the events surrounding my inactivity could lead to a one or two good posts? any feedback? </p> http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/forum/topic/introductions#post-4 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 22:21:07 +0000 Aaron Pogue 4@http://www.unstressedsyllables.com/forum/ <p>Welcome to The Scribblebook, <a href="http://www.UnstressedSyllables.com">UnstressedSyllables.com's</a> discussion board.

My name is Aaron Pogue, and I'm a professional writer. I have a degree in English/Writing from Oklahoma Christian University, and I've worked as a Technical Writer since the summer of 2002.
