INTRODUCING: A Drabble a Day Writer's Challenge!

100 one-hundred words stories, in 100 days, to benefit Accord hospice.

I decided earlier this week, that to get out of my blue funk, and stop feeling so sorry for myself, I needed to do something. Unfortunately, my present circumstances make the choices open to me, virtually non-existent.

After much deliberation, I knew what I wanted to do--but how to do it? What I wanted is a long-term (aprrox. 3 months) project, that I could use to either raise funds for, or help promote some sort of deserving charity.

But...by Friday, I was stumped. Then, Saturday, came one of those lovely encounters with serendipity. An internet friend mailed me a link to a fund-raising website, and also, some information about a charity she is currently supporting.

Viola! My Writer's Challenge is born!

Starting today, and for the next 100 days, I will be on my other site, on blogger.com, writing a drabble a day.

What's a drabble? That's slang for a fiction story--with a proper beginning, middle and end--that's exactly 100 words long. Not 99, not 101--but an even 100. Not an easy thing to do, let me tell you--at least, not for me. Well, it shouldn't be, should it? Then it wouldn't be a challenge!

Here's the link to the official donation page (100% secure): http://www.justgiving.com/nbgolash

And for those of you not familiar with me, I won't see a single penny of this money. The donation site automatically sends all donations to Accord.

I won't pressure anyone into giving. Just won't you please take a moment and visit the websites?

The first story will be published today, before midnight, U.S. Eastern Standard Time (I'm 5 hours behind the U.K.)

Thanks again everyone. I will be putting a link to the donation page, and the writing page, at the top of this blog. Cheers. N.
