Monday the good folks at The High Calling* posted this:
At that point, Charity Singleton* stepped in to explain:
Yesterday was the first Sunday of Advent, and so we begin a season of waiting and expectation. For most of us, December can easily slip into one big blur of holiday parties and gift exchanges, of decking the halls and maxing out credit cards.
Or, maybe it’s not too late to make something different of this season. We would like to invite you to consider what Advent means to you, its old traditions, its new lessons, and join us for a community writing project.
At that point, Charity Singleton* stepped in to explain:
I have the privilege of hosting a group-writing project for The High Calling.… And you, my friends, are invited to participate. Here’s how:
1 —Think of an Advent tradition that you continue to reinvent year after year. It could be something old you do for Advent year after year or something new you are doing for Advent just this year. Or consider an old Advent truth they are reminded of again this year or a new truth you have been learning for the first time.
2 — Write about those Advent traditions or lessons on your blog, using rich description and story.
3 — Return [to Charity’s blog at http://charitysingleton.blogspot.com/2011/11/week-1-day-2-advent-writing-project.html] —any time before Wednesday, December 7—and link your story in the space below so we can find you. Be sure to link back to this specific post from your blog.
4 — On December 12, I will feature some of your posts here. And my fellow High Calling editor (Laura Boggess) and I may also feature some of your stories over at The High Calling!
Thanks, Charity. This project promises rich blessings for both writers and readers.
