I am giving a link to a challenge entry before the lesson. The reason is because this entry needed two separate settings that had to tell a lot about the people, the environment and the urgent need without taking up a lot of words to get that accomplished. It is my entry of It Would Have Been Enough...

Jan, Here is my real attempt at a poem style I've never tried. I hope the subject can be forgiven. I'm living this poem at the moment. Keep my wife and I in your prayers.

I still have the untapped idea for my NaNo fiasco. Not one word done... how embarrassing. But, with the same desire and MULTIPLIED effort, I am determined to do this one because the idea for the book is worth doing. It's a period story set in the Dark Ages.

Goody, goody... I get to repeat the test and give all new answers. 1.
