RE: ᔕᑕᗷ Week Chit-Chat (28/9 - 29/9)
I've got an idea @wakeupkitty
You guys could try an editing challenge. What do I mean? Everybody gets to work the same sample text and the contestants are free to rearrange, elaborate, correct, and so on. Then the best edits get rewarded.
If you feel like mixing things up you could even use one of your own texts, given how you said you wanted to write more yourself. Maybe the winner gets to pick the next sample, giving people an additional incentive in terms of showcasing their stuff while also obtaining some valuable feedback.
I thought about it and more as I read @sbamsoneu his text today and tried to explain how to cut 400+ words. Just not in a way to change his text, he could do that himself.
If it comes to #wewrite what we do has to fit to the application (and what went wrong). Commenting, titles and hashtags are the biggest problems, just like reading text.
Six weeks sound long but it is short especially if those who write fall back into old habits right after they finished a task.
This course can be followed by everyone but editing is a step if not two too far and just like script writing not for everyone.
We could do it as an out-of-the-box contest but it would be great if those who are absent right now would join too.
@jiva34 @saintkelvin @shahid76 do you like ro edit text?
