This is the second in a series of writing experiments that several folks from the blogging community have agreed to participate in. The goal is to promote each other, improve our writing skills and feed off of everyone’s diverse backgrounds by picking one topic and all writing about it on the same day. The last one on relating monkeys to personal finance was a big hit and super fun seeing everyone’s unique perspective on things.
I will be posting links back on this page at the end of the day so check back later and I should have a more complete listing.
Here are some Other Great Articles from the series:
