quickie: inspiration

to my fellow bloggers who like to write about inspiration: one of my blogging buddies, damien at postcards from the funny farm, has a group writing/writing contest project called amazing visions.

it closes on july 1 (extended deadline) and here is what it’s about

can you think of someone you admire? maybe it’s for their brain? their personality? maybe they are as big as walt disney or as ordinary as your dad. i love reading stories of people who use their common brain and inspiration to do amazing things. i’m holding a contest for your articles on that type of person. i think the posts are going to be revolutionary and inspiring to all who read them. here’s the details:

publish a 200-400 word post on your blog. if you like you can get some ideas what i am thinking of in my archived series: “amazing visions.” but please, be as different from me as you can be. in the post you need to link back to this permalink, or this blog’s root url. there will be 2 big winners and 3 honorable mentions. the 2 will get box ads to their blogs for a month free of charge along with optional custom-made 125×125 glass buttons courtesy of our design company, create and innovate designs. each will also receive a thoughtful writeup about their blog linked back from here in a post.

since i think this is a great project, i want to invite you all to participate. to prime the pump a bit, i’m specifically inviting
