Challenge for writers

This week you will write two mini-stories, (100-500 words), with the same sentence starter, but one is an exclamation and the other a statement. They set two very different moods. Let’s see where they take you!

Sentence starters:

1. I have such a headache!

2. I have such a headache.

Create a logo for a martial arts school. It cannot have any realistic figures, only cartoon-like figures will do. The aim of the company is to attract as many local children as possible. The name of the school is: “Awesome Achievements Martial Arts”. Make sure to include the school’s name in the logo. Have fun!

Sorry for the late post. I was feeling ill all day yesterday and didn’t get an opportunity to post the results. Today isn’t looking better, but I refuse to be lying in bed all day (like 80% of yesterday).

I’ve finally completed the Egyptian Wordpress Theme. What took me so long? My Ethics class that is what happened. I had to write papers, take quizzes and that ridiculously long and repetitive final exam. But, fear not, I have not forgotten the Wordpress theme. Here it is without further fanfare:

It’s not the SAME!! No, I changed the layout and some of the graphics did not make it to the final version. It still looks cool though. I tested this design with the Theme Test Drive Widget and it works great. Bugs are a reality of life, so, if you find any, let me know. This is my first theme, if you download it and use it, I would appreciate some feedback or comments. ^_^

A couple of things before you rush off to download it:

1. This theme design was made following the Wordpress default by Kubrick.

2. This theme and all it’s components are for personal use ONLY.

My interpretation of the Dog Days of August. Instead of focusing on the hot and humid days; I decided to show that “Dog Days”, comes from the star Sirius (also called the Dog Star). I tinted the moon red to symbolize the heat.  This challenge reminded me of a wonderful book by Diana Wynne Jones called Dogsbody.
