Greetings, questers! This is an announcement to bring to your attention a new kind of challenge that has begun in the Holy Worlds realm - the official Challenge of the Month.

Each month we’ll focus on a different aspect of our writing – loglines, first pages, etc. The goal is to encourage each other to improve that angle of our writing throughout the month. We’ll discuss the logistics of the month’s theme and why it’s important. We’ll share our knowledge – and any relevant resources we find – on the theme. We’ll post our work and exchange critiques. Anything related to the month’s theme goes! There are no prizes and no winners – just a source of enthusiasm and motivation to improve our writing.

These challenges are hosted on our sister site, Holy Worlds Sci-Fi. However, all kinds of genres are welcome in the challenge, so come on over even if you're not a sci-fi writer! January's theme is loglines, and the thread can be found here: http://holyworlds.org/scifi/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=206

Looking forward to seeing you over there!

A longer description is on the challenge thread, but the short of it is: A logline is a one-sentence summary of a book or script. It's an invaluable marketing tool - it's an essential part of a query letter and the like.

I'm soliciting ideas now. At the moment, it sounds like "dialog" is the winner. :)
