AboutJan's August Writing Challenge: Write something every day in the month of August.
Sounds tough! What do I have to do?
Write. Something. Anything. Any length. Prose or poetry. Every day. For a month. And share it.
Sounds cool! How do I sign up?

Post either your writing, or a link to your writing to the community every day in August, starting on Friday, August 1st, 2008.
Sounds simple! Are there any other rules?
Nope. Well, not really. It has to be creative writing - prose or poetry, of any any length, on any subject. Stuff you would normally be writing anyway counts (so, for those who write serials, that counts) but stuff you write for your job doesn't. But it can be anything. Short fiction, short-short fiction, essays, character studies, stream-of-consciousness, writing exercises (I post a different writing exercise every day during the month of August for anyone who would like to use it), sections of a larger work you have in progress, etc. Anything at all, so long as it's a piece of writing that you did that day. It would also be really cool if you could read and comment on a couple of other posts every day.
Last year's was a heck of a lot of fun for everyone who joined in, whether they managed to finish or not. I loved reading everyone else's stuff, and I learned a hell of a lot about my own writing. I'm really looking forward to seeing amazingly creative output again this year.
And here's a sample of the wide variety of stuff people are inspired to produce in August, by![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)

The premise is rather inviting.
You write what you please,
Whether prose, verse, or sleaze;
The results are quite fun and exciting!
