July Zing Thing - Dedicated to Lindsay Mutch (Lindsa)

The 'Zing Thing' is a snappy, short and spectacular challenge to get those creative juices flowing.

Start: 23 Jul 2010 17:00:00
End: 25 Jul 2010 23:59:59
 

The Rules

Typically, the Zing Thing challenge consists of writing a 2,000 word short story following the theme given in the challenge.

This month, we're doing something a little different.

During SoCNoC, one of the participants, Lindsay Mutch was powering through the word count, then unexpectedly it stopped.  It eventuated that he died during the month of June after a short illness.

It turns out that Lindsay Mutch was an incredible person with a passion for words and wit.  So we decided to dedicate this Zing Thing to Lindsay Mutch and his Mutchism's.

Check out the Zing Thing under the Challenges Forum and see what Mutchism's you like, and we will decide on the 18th of July which ones will be put forward into the challenge.
