As you likely saw, the first prompt is up. I also want to remind you to post links to your updates in the comments, even if they're not related to the prompts. That way we can all keep each other in the loop about our progress and of course, more contest entries.
Good luck to everyone on our first week!
(Somewhat) unrelatedly, is anyone decent in French? I have a question.

My french is a bit rusty, but ask away.
I also have one question. How do I put the image with the link on my blog ?
And here is a link to my first update.

My French is decent, but rusty. Happy to give it a shot.
I took several years in college and would also be happy to help, though it looks like you may already have it covered.
Thanks everyone! I'm looking to say "glamour magic" which I think would use the words "eclat" and "magie" but I'm not sure on word order, connecting words and articles. Halp?
This would really depend on the entire sentence, and what you are trying to say, context, etc. Eclat originally meant fragment or shard, and now means shine or sparkle (I guess what shines from a shard). Glamour in English can mean many things, too many things! And the French use "glamoreux/se" as a borrowed word. Originally glamour just meant magic or enchantment (see etymology here: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=glamour). So,"eclat magie" might mean magic sparkle, which is maybe not what you mean to say. Hope that helps. Email me if you like, and I can run it past a French teacher! Vagabondanne@gmail.com
@ Hanshishiro - Do you use Blogger as a platform? If so, take the code and paste it under the "HTML" Gadget that can be found in the Layout section.
