Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

- It is so nice to finally be able to catch up, Louise. It's been ages since we saw each other. Today, I really wanted to tell you how grateful I am for our friendship, even though we don't see each other very often. - Oh Alice! I feel exactly the same as you. I wouldn't have been able to get through my divorce last year if you hadn't been there, ready to answer every one of my calls. You were my rock during that difficult time. - Louise, I will always be there for you. It's important for friends to support each other, especially when life gets rough. - You're also the one friend who never hesitates to tell me some home truths even when I don't want to hear anything. - Louise, what a rare connection we have!

Clever stuff happening!
