Writers Choice Featured Questions Week 52
Writing prompts for discerning writers with more to say
than Xanga’s Featured Questions gives them credit for.
Announcement!!
I’ve decided the WCFQ will be moving to its own blog. I think perhaps it gets overshadowed by my holy day posts (certain kinds of folk may be offended by them) and the length of my other posts (yeah, I’m verbose), so I’ve decided to create a separate WCFQ blog which will only post passed over featured questions. Also, since Xanga has made it possible to post things in advance, the WQFC will be switching to a Monday through Friday update schedule, rather than everything all together on Sunday. So there will still be five questions, but each will have its own day. Over the weekend, I think I’ll try something a little different. While the regular questions are essays, the weekend post will be a creative writing prompt called Writer’s Challenge. It can fiction, poetry, whatever you choose. I’ll post a scenario or a a bunch of images or instructions, and you can do whatever you like with them. What do you think?This week’s final five questions are below.
Next week will start the new site.
Bringing up Dred Scott Tyler’s installation art “What is the Proper way to Display an American Flag?”, what are your views on desecrating the American flag? Does the American flag itself, a physical object, truly deserve the reverence that some Americans give it?

One year!!! Congratulations!!! I look forward to seeing how the new site grows.
I think the creative writing prompt sounds awesome! I wish there was some way for us to link our sites back to the WCFQ posts so we could see who answered the memes more easily and follow their posts. Does Mr. Linky work on Xanga?
@heidenkind - Provided I am subscribed to someone, I’ll know if they answered and I’m going to recommend them from the WCFQ site, so they’ll show up in the side module on the WCFQ blog. Beyond that, I have to rely on people telling me they posted, which I hope they do.
