Here's another great challenge presented to you by G.M. Jackson
This will be an on-topic/off-topic dialog? First you write dialog between two or more characters that is on-topic, then below that, you write dialog that drifts off-topic (like a real conversation) but eventually gets back on track, or doesn't. In the latter case, one character might say, "How did we end up talking about spicebush caterpillers?" or whatever. I have no idea what a spicebush caterpiller is, but the challenge is on, so what I can do? I can't remember when I've ever stayed on topic in a conversation. For me it's an attention deficit. Most of my friends have the same problem, so we're in sinc. Wait, how did I get off on my friends? Back to the subject, spicebush caterpillers. Hmmm - scratch that. Okay, I'm back on track. Please go to second paragraph above. |
The Rules:
Keep in mind, this is a monitored group and there are only a couple of rules, which are:
Make sure you put this (WWE, 11/21/12, On Off) in your title.
Be sure to tag it with WWE, Gather Writing Essentials, On Off. Post to Gather Writing Essential.
I ask that you make your submission(s) by next Tuesday afternoon.
There is a limit of three submissions from each member per day. If you’re extremely prolific, spread out your work and post only three submissions per day.
Most important:
Put this challenge statement at the beginning or end of your submission so readers will know what you’re supposed to do and won’t think you’re crazy.

Um, did I get off the topic here? What was the topic? I'll see if I can't focus in the near future. Oh, but what about the far future? Is there such a thing as a far future? I think I'm drifting again. I'll work on that.
What was the topic?
There! I did whatever it was you asked. What was that again?
Got beer?
