๐บ Welcome to the Scholar and Scribe Invitational ๐บ
๐ -Christmas Edition- ๐
Ho, ho, ho! The Invitational is our bi-weekly, super-duper, writing contest. It is where we match quills and draw blood all for the sake of the craft. We all know a 'friendly' competition never hurts anyone, much, especially when it can be used as a platform to improve your writing. ๐
