Blog-a-thon TODAY!

I am filled with hope and pride this morning.

Good morning, everyone.

Last night was a historic event in our nation's history and I feel privileged to have been a part of it.  Regardless of whether your candidate won, we must all acknowledge how lucky we are to live in a country where we have a voice and can choose our leaders.

I would also like to note a point that's been made a few times on t.v.  Red and blue, when combined, makes purple.  Purple... the same color as our friend, Ray's, boots.  I like the coincidence of this and hope it serves as a symbol of Highlowaha's ability to be in community - regardless of political affiliation.  Let our interest in creativity serve as the thing that binds us together.

As for the Blog-a-thon to start later this morning.  Below are some important points to know.

• Start Time: The Blog-a-thon begins at 10:00 a.m. CST and will be under the cover a new post.  I will put it up at exactly 10:00 CST.
  
• Writing Relay: Blog-a-thoners will participate in a Writing Relay.  This means we will co-author a progressive scary story.  Person #1 starts.  Person #2 builds on the work of person #1.  Person #3 builds on the work of person #2, and on and on.
• Comment Section: If you are not participating in the Blog-a-thon, please DO NOT post in the comment section of the post!  We are trying to keep the story running, without interruption. 
• 15-minute Blocks of Time: Blog-a-thoners are each signed up for a 15-minute block of time.  They do not need to write for the entire time, they must simply be on the blog for 15 minutes (I suggest using some of the time to read what the person before you has written).
• BE TIMELY: Blog-a-thoner, PLEASE be timely!  If you post late, you will throw off the schedule!
• Have FUN!  Remember to have fun with this.  Our Helping Hand family is a worthy cause, in addition to this being a fun exercise in creativity!
• JUMP IN: Didn't sign up, but want to participate (or, want to claim an additional time)?  Jump right in.  Below is a list of times that nobody is currently signed up.  It's helpful if you tell me (make a post here or email me at cbeeny@lslog.com), so I can assure that two people aren't simultaneously writing at the same time.
