I like Writing Challenge #2 because it can lead my mind to wander at the speed most suitable for me. My most difficult challenge is to elaborate a single piece of thought and put it in a paragraph. By the time I had formulated the paragraph somebody had already written similar thought beautifully. That was why quite often I did not write my comments. I came too late to catch the train.

Thanks a lot for posting all the writing challenges here. That would inspire me to keep challenging as well as review or obtain something new from them too.

PS: I like " My advice" most since each advice resprents a precious adventure experienced by bloggers that would save us much time and beware where the points are when we do the same things.
