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

In Chile apparently they say that to attract abundance into our lives, on New Year's Eve, we must pay special attention to the color of our underwear. This must be red to have love, white to call for peace, blue for good health and black to attract luxury. In addition to this odd ritual, there are some others that will not leave you indifferent. For example, lentils become great protagonists, and you should carry a handful of them in your pockets if you want to have wealth in the coming year; to complete these beautiful traditions, I will tell you that if you want your wishes to come true, you have to write them on a piece of paper and cover them with sugar and cinnamon.

I'll be right with you...
