What did I get myself into?

When I saw a WDC Wonderland focused activity. It seemed like something fun to try. As a chess fan I love how the game ties in with "Through the Looking Glass" and when I found out the competitors for this activity were called "White Pawns' this became a must try for me.

So today... I get a notification in my newsfeed that the challenges are up and discover that each challenge has multiple parts with over 40 tasks to accomplish in about a month.

This is going to be really intense. ^_^;

So what are my goals for this?

I just want to get as far as I possibly can and have fun with writing for it. There are a lot wild topics in the activity list that seem like they'd be enjoyable to attempt.

I also want to get in at least one Chess reference into this book which I guess I succeeded in doing when I titled this entry. (Woo Hoo... one goal already checked off).

I would love to try to have my entries for this intertwine into one large story however since I'm new to this, I doubt I'll be able to make my entries connect very much amid all the Wonderland Madness. I think that I should set the more simple goal of getting through all these activities opting to play for a stalemate rather than a win. (Another chess reference ... I should probably keep a running count).

The poetry segments for this seem like they'll be fun too. Jabberwocky is one of my favorite Nonsensical poems. If I can write something even a fraction as good as that one I would be pretty happy.

Ok everyone... here's hoping I'll be able to make it through this. Please Wish me Luck! Good luck to the other Pawns as well!!
