A writing Challenge

[MagicFingers]

Marilyn vos Savant put out a challenge in Parade magazine.
Her first was for you to write a 100 word paragraph without repeating any words.
The challenge now is to write a 100 word paragraph, or story, without repeating any words, AND using only one-syllable words.

The winner would be posted in the magazine, and the top ten will be on the Parade web site.

And, I would love to see the stories that you write that may not win, here in Lit. Email them to marilyn@parade.com, or just post them here.

I have about a 25 word start. I figured that if my stories are written for a 4th grade reading level (According to Microsoft, but what do they know?) and I rarely use words of more than 2 silly bulls anyway, then why not give it a try?

Good luck

No using "and" or "the" twice, even?

I don't think so

No using "and" or "the" twice, even?

That is what really stumps me. That's why I'm only on 25 words or so. And those came to me at 1am trying to get to sleep.
That may be the best time to create stories like this.
