Sailing Learning Experiences Group Writing Project

Submit your entry until 2008-05-17 here

Group writing project ahoy! Sailor Tillerman is announcing his first group writing project in a year and it ain’t for landlubbers like myself.

Theme

Sailing Learning Experiences

In Tillerman’s words: “Some of us use that phrase to describe a major screw-up as in, “Oh no! Not another learning experience.” But you can interpret it how you want. It might be a story about a funny or an embarrassing mistake you made, or it might be a serious post about something you learned while sailing, or something you learned from a book or a course, or even a tale in praise of a favorite instructor or coach. It can be about racing or cruising or day-sailing.If you have pictures or video we’d love to see them. The idea is for us to create a collection of our learning experiences that will be of interest to fellow sailors.”

Rules

Write a post on your blog about a “learning experience” that is related to sailing.
Link to the announcement post on the Proper Course blog.
To submit your entry, email tillermeister [at] gmail [dot] com with your permalink url and post title.
Recommended: Give your story a title that is more descriptive than “Learning Experience”.
Recommended: Follow the Proper Course blog to visit the different entries and comment on them.

All participating bloggers will get 3 links:

Every day or so Tillerman will post a listing of new stories.
After the deadline, Tillerman will post a complete listing of all entries.
There will also be a final results list here on Group Writing Projects.

Submission Deadline

Saturday, May 17th 2008

Win a Free Retreat With the Retreat Group Writing Project

Submission ended on 2008-05-09

Over at HigherCallingBlogs, Mark Goodyear wants you to get away from it all. Retreat from the daily battle of work life and head to a place where the loudest noise are birds singing. Sound good? One lucky participating blogger will take home a free retreat for an individual or married couple.

Theme

Retreat, as in Getting Away From It All

In Mark’s words: “If possible, think of a specific retreat you took. Where was it? What happened? What did you learn about yourself and your identity? What did you learn about the world and your priorities? What did you learn about the heavens and the person of God? (Don’t feel compelled to answer all of these questions. They’re just to get the juices flowing.)”

Rules

Your entry should link to the group writing project’s sponsor, Laity Lodge.
Recommended: use one of the official logos (like the one here on the right) in your post.
To submit your entry, link your post to Chris Cree’s blog SuccessCreeations. Chris will be posting the final roundup of entries for Mark.

Prize

A free retreat at Laity Lodge for a person or married couple. This prize will be drawn from the list of entries to the group writing project by the deadline.

Whether you win or not, participating in this group writing project will net you a 50% discount for a retreat at Laity Lodge. See Mark’s announcement for more details.

Submission Deadline
