The Welcome Mat and Confessions of a Poet.

by la_spice @ 2008-06-18 – 12:35:06

I’m sure that the other members of this group will agree that everyone is more than welcome here. This isn’t an exclusive club.

I recently challenged bloggers to write, and post a story, without using the letter “e”. This was lots of fun and many of you joined in. Thank you.

Sadly there’s always one person to spoil every game and a visitor has accused me of cheating by spelling “hordes” as “hoards”. Now what would be the point in cheating? There are plenty of words without the letter “e” and I have simply amended the text.

Criticise my writing, disagree with my opinions but please do not accuse me of cheating.

Yes I confess I got the spelling wrong but writers are only humans after all. So bloggers please keep writing.

THE END

Oh, bummer...cheating...in that case I cheated too when I spelled 'weigh' 'way' by mistake, and you pointed it out and I replaced it...LOL...ignore whoever said that...it was great fun and you really had to use the old brain cells to create something that made sense and wasn't too boring either...think up some more, Marian...I really enjoyed the last session...great big hugs...

  Thank you - the main point was to encourage people to have a go at writing - words are wonderful (with or without an "e")!!!
  
  I have another idea in mind
  
  Tom (SeasideMan) suggested a weekly writing challenge.

      Exactly - everyone's a winner!
      
      I'll set it once everyone has had a chance to do the e-free challenge.

You!! Cheat!!! Ha ha that’s funny...you are as straight as an arrow...I would hate to see this site become over serious ..comments and views should always be respected and if you don’t like something well move on!!...I wish I was intelligent enough to cheat.

  Exactly - we should be encouraging people to express themselves without clever dicks trying to put them off!

  I know!
  
  It was quite uncalled for. I'd already had an "e" politely pointed out to me which I changed without any bother. But being called a cheat wasn't kind (or fair)
  
  Had a blogfriend said it in fun then that would have been a different matter.
  
  Ah well!

What a dirty chav. It's sad that some tosspot had to insult your good work by accusing you of not playing fair. Obviously that human knows you not.
