Coffeehouse for Writers: Contest

     I received a copy of the free ezine Fiction Fix from Coffeehouse for Writers today. They had an interesting writing challenge/contest/prompt to share with folks:
     Flesh Out Your Writing with Body Language (Victoria Grossack)
     The deadline for the contest is 15 March 2005, but you don't have to enter unless you want to: "The prize is a free four-week course anytime during 2005 and publication of the winning entry at Coffeehouseforwriters and in Fiction Fix."
     The main idea of this topic is to have fun with the writing prompts -- and to write. The above is an excellent prompt which applies to most forms of writing. It's an excellent exercise for this list. Body language also affixes emotions too -- part of the show, don't tell bit.
     Examples Of Body Language
     The NONVERBAL DICTIONARY of GESTURES, SIGNS & BODY LANGUAGE CUES
     Interpreting Body Language and Behavior (Sure, it's for bunnies, but... LOL)
     If any of you have any ideas for a writing exercise, please feel free to share them with us.
