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

My name is Marcel and I am a nice cat. I am intelligent, independent and affectionate. I like sleeping in my basket and I often go for walks in the garden. I'm always happy when my human pets me and when I play with balls. But I don't like dogs, and I hate the cold. I also avoid water because it is too wet for me! Goodbye! Meow!

I'll be right with you...
