Blog Awards Challenge

MOST of us write online blanketed by anonymity. It gives us the confidence to say things we might think twice about saying in real life situations. Many brave bloggers write with identities out in the open—others create alter egos or cultivate a certain persona—yet someways edit our public thoughts and moderate our punches. Still some of us embellish the facts, amplify our writings for dramatic effect, or conveniently adopt the easy ways of ommission or selective disclosure. These tendencies bespeak our issues with Honesty.

Honesty has become a flexible word in a blogger's world as it is a dreaded word in real life: we have reservations about being all-too-honest.

Our THIRD BLOG CHALLENGE is:

Why blog anonymously? Why is it difficult to blog openly and honestly, and in the event when we become all-too honest in our writings, who is the person/s that we dread the most to discover and read our blog and why?

Few reminders:
1. Minimum of 700 words and a maximum of 1,500 (Longer entries will only be considered upon judges discretion, or if it really upholds the caliber of excellence to merit consideration.)

2. You can write in either Filipino or English in any style s/he wishes to write (humorous, sentimental, romantic, argumentative etc).

3. Leave the exact link/URL of your entry (not the URL of your blog, but the entry) here at the comment section. NO entry link should be submitted in the Cbox/Tagboard.

4. You have until the 30th of May to submit your entries.

5. Entry links will not appear in the comment section until the deadline date to prevent idea theft.

6. Those who participated in the previous challenge can still join. [rule no.11]

7. Participants must place this line at the end of the post: "This is my entry to the Blog Awards Challenge No. 3: The Hazards Of Honesty", with the corresponding backlink to this challenge. [Link to this challenge]
