It's be great if Tomeians could infiltrate the top of the leaderboard. =D

I am NOT the one running this competition, just promoting it as a favour.  I'll drop all challenges in here, however, just remember to enter as above, and not by submitting it to anyone here on tome.

The task: write a fictional, auto-biographical or poetic piece on happiness, discovery and freedom.

The title of the piece is optional.

Wow, is the litden still going? Last I looked it had about 2 new entries over the previous month!  Did they ever actually publish the magazine?  It said coming soon about two years ago.  Guess 'soon' was in planetary timescales. [/bitchy]

I'm quite in the mood for writing as it happens (yes, a bit drunk) but this is not really my preferred genre!

  Oi, China. Lit. Den is cool. I'm one of the oldest members on there, and I won't hear a word against it! *angryface* Fair enough, I'm way out of the loop nowadays, being on Tome more, but I remember the good old days...

I think the problem is that Paul thinks big, but the group is still too small. 

Anyway, I'm up for this writing challenge. Yay!

Ouch! 

Actually I was thinking of the forum.  The blog seems to be fairly active, though as you say, there's not many people on it. 

The writing challenge is a decent idea mind.  Perhaps we should steal it?
