You know, it’s been quite a while since we finished the last What I Learned From… project, and - hmmm. Gee, has it really only been two weeks? Well, maybe it just seems like it’s been a long time. Things have been a bit busy around here lately.

Not only that, but thanks to our combined projects with the High Callings Blogs community, two out of the last three have lasted two weeks instead of the usual one. But I think it’s time to go back to a one-week time frame don’t you? (sound of terrified scream)

I know, I know; some of you like having the extra time - you’re busy with lots of other endeavors. Believe me, I understand perfectly. The only thing is, when we keep the project open for two whole weeks, it almost seems like it’s… well, never-ending, you know?

Personally, I think it’s important to keep breaks between them, to focus on, you know, other stuff. No need to panic, though, ‘cause I’ve got a solution I think will please everyone (sound of crowd cheering).

From now on, I’ll be announcing the next WILF topic one week early (that happens to be today, in case you’re calendar-challenged). See, that way, you still have two weeks to write an entry even though the actual kickoff isn’t until next Monday.

Am I clever, or what? (Don’t answer that!)

OK, so I’m fudging a bit. Is that wrong? (Don’t answer that either!) All it really means is, if you need the extra time, you’ll have it. Just remember to email me the links so I don’t miss ‘em.

So, here’s the official announcement: the July WILF topic is (sound of trumpets and drums rolling dramatically)…

Transportation

.

That includes trains, planes, automobiles, airport shuttles, space shuttles, bus shuttles, Star Trek shuttlecraft, skateboards, surfboards, buckboards, Ouija boards, wheelchairs, lift chairs, chair lifts, racing sleds, racing go-carts, racing snails, ice skates, roller skates, jet skates, anything rocket-powered, sail boats, tug boats, motor boats, gravy boats, well, you get the idea. Hey, if it moves - or can move stuff - and is at least marginally related to the topic, then it’s fair game!

So grab your keyboard, stone chisel, or other writing instrument of your choice and get ready folks, ‘cause the next What I Learned From… groupwrite project kicks off next Monday, July 7^th!
