There was some interest in having me post what the weekly assignments were for the Top 12, so that other bloggers could sort of do a play-along on their own blogs. It's a great way to strengthen your writing skills, gives you practice for if you are going to audition next year, not to mention gives you an idea for a post if you are looking for something to write about.
Here is the assignment given to the Top 12 for week 1:
Your week 1 assignment is to introduce yourself to your audience, and the people that will be voting for you. Give them a good dose of who you are. Remember, this is going to be where they start picking favorites, so make sure that they want to pick you. Don't make it about you and your blog, make it about YOU as a person. You can not use the same thing that you used for your audition.
Once you post the Play-at-Home assignment in your blog, post a link here for others to read, and you can go 'judge' the posts of the other people playing from home!
