The paragraph must make sense. You can use any derivative of the word "long". The one who writes the best paragraph will receive an imaginary milky way chocolate as a prize. Good luck!

As long as you keep this up, I´m playing along in this locution… I am used to write by long-hand but I will this type this, with not a long-face for as long-lived as I am I will learn to use this keyboard. Though not an expert by a long shot and no longer suffering from long lost loves, I put aside my longing for emotion and play this longstanding game you seem to be having… offering virtual milky-ways for long-winded looney articles of logy prose.

For a long time I have longed to be able to write longer works. As long as I keep trying, I'm sure my chance will come along, eventually. But the longer I wait, the more I wonder if my long writings belong in print. I'm a long way from being a great writer -- though I do long to become famous some day. I'm more of a "short and to the point" kind of person, and my longer work tends to just kind of ramble along without really making any sense. I don't know how long I can keep at it, before I just have to admit that I don't belong among the ranks of writers of great long fiction. I've been at it a long time, and I'm just no further along than I was years ago. Maybe it's time to just give up.

Long before I began my hopfully long reign as the Y! Poet Priestess, there was a long silence in my life. I longed for the oppourtunity that had long been denied me: to share my genuis with others in the world who had gone so long without sharing it. Thanks to the members of my glub glub, the list being too long to mention (and even longer still to type) I now have the chance to fulfil my longing for a long line of loving and leering fans. I was almost tempted to write a long letter, beginning with the words, "So long cruel world" but it took so long to compose that I gave up long before it was finished. And now my little story has gotten longer than I ever intended it to be and it is longer still with every tap-tap-tapity-tap of my long fingers. And now I long for the delicious prize that was promised for the one who could write a paragraph featuring the word long 10 times (a minimum which I surpassed long ago). Gold star for you.

Long after BillTannebaum had stopped longing for Audrey Hacker to return his obvious affections, in the long days of winter he sat by his fire whittling on a long stick of walnut wood. His CD player had been going for a long two hours, and he was listening for third time to song of longing sun by a group long-since disbanded. Outside the window, the pale winter sun was casting longer and longer shadows onto the remnants of the last snowfall; Bill sighed a long sigh, and returned to his whittling. Then the phone rang--one long, two short --his signal on the party line. He ran to answer it.

It's been a long time since I've had to do this. A long, long time. In fact, a long, long, long time. I don't even remember how long it's been. "How long?," you ask. Well, I can't say just how long, but pretty long. Longer than an alligator's long tail. Longer that a kangaroo can jump. Longer than Huey Long. Very long.

i theory i could leap(a million) out of my seat over the prize! A Milky way Chocolate.....I think of it is going to leap(2) top into my hand. i might desire to intently leap(3) alongside the keyboard with my hands to describe the leap(4) in exhilaration i'm experiencing! i'm hoping I win, i don't pick to leap(5) to any conclusions. possibly i will, and then i gets to leap(6) into the winner's circle! leap(7) to it now, and get this leap(8) question voted ultimate. i will leap(9) to a various question whilst i'm waiting. I extra suitable verify no one would be hiding to leap(10) me for my prize!!!! No -ings, No -eds, No -ers......merely organic leap!!!!

The days are as long as the longest river. If the river was as long as the Nile river then it would be longer than the Mississippi river. I bet it takes a long time to cross the longest river but as long as we are friends it wouldn't seem to be as long as it really is. I hope we stay friends as long as the sky is high and as long as the rivers are long and as long as the oceans are deep. As long as you are my friend I will not long for anything else.

Heck, I can do it in one sentence: I long to write a long, long sentence for those who long for long sentences just to see how long a long sentence I can write and how long it will take me to type the long, long sentence.
