The exercise:

Christmas comes closer, the countdown continues. Today's starter is: eight maids a milking.

Mine:

Eight maids keep busy by milking in a long row; each one has her hair tied back with a blue bow. They seem sure of themselves but the cows just don’t know. They get a little nervous and the milk no longer flows.

The maids pause to look at one another in a panic. They need this milk for dinner tonight, their mother will be frantic! Something must be done to fix this mess and right quick!

Suddenly a maid breaks out in song; the first note is pure, high and long. The others join in, hoping that the first will not be wrong. The cows nod their heads and moo right along.

A few more notes, two more tugs and once again here comes the milk! Who needs violence and weapons when you have sweetness and silk?

Awesome site. I've been doing a lot of writing myself recently after I started my 30-day challenge to journal everyday (http://thelifeexperimenter.com/2008/12/08/life-experiment-2-journal-daily-for-30-days/).

Another site worth checking out is:

Good luck in your writing!
