Answers.com is sponsoring a crazy little writing contest. They give you 10 words (actually 9 words and one phrase) and in 750 words or less you have to include all ten in their proper usage. Use any written form you like.
Attempts at, and my final entry will be posted on this blog.
The words:
a lick and a promise
ataraxia
contraband
halva
mantic
praxis
sapid
semilunar
serendipity
zeitgeist
I encourage others to take up the zany challenge as well, because the world can always use some more zan'.
