Whoa! Sara, you're doing strictly titles? That is going to be hard. Good luck!
Woah, hold up there Lisa Kay! We don't just have to use titles? :O What else can we use?
Gemma wrote: "Woah, hold up there Lisa Kay! We don't just have to use titles? :O What else can we use?"No, Gemma, we don't. In addition, you CAN use authors' names (first or last), series titles, and characters' names.
Sara, however, is only posting titles. I was just commenting on how challenging that was going to be for her. Sorry for the confusion.
Well that serves me right for not reading the description properly, I have also only been using titles!
Eep! Well, Gemma, this information will really help you out then. Are you going to back-track to when you started?
Since I haven't really struggled yet I think I'll leave it for now but when I need more awkward letters like x's and q's I will certainly take advantage of it ^_^
Great, Gemma! Yes, I saw that you just started in March, so not too much damage. ☺
I am using only titles too. I rarely use authors or character names etc in my challenges even if it is allowed LOL
