Writing Assignments

Three Word Wednesday.

Go to http://www.threewordwednesday.com/ and find the three words for this week.
from the site:
Three Word Wednesday gives writers, poets and those who journal a mid-week jolt of creativity.
Each week, three words are selected; you create something with the words. Then come back and post a link to your contribution.
The idea is to create an online writers’ collective, where feedback is offered and received.
All rights to the contributions rest with the author.
This is a place to stretch your muse, test your dreams.
Get writing, you.

Your DigiArt Tells a Story
