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

I am passionate about igloos, so I am going to build one. First, I will look for a place that is safe and flat. Then, I will need to use blocks of compacted snow and cut them with special tools. Next, I will form a circle as the base of the igloo, carefully placing each block to ensure it doesn't collapse. I will also build a small entrance for it and decorate its interior with lights or candles. While building it, I will need to constantly check that the blocks are properly aligned. After finishing the structure, I will seal the small cracks with extra snow. Additionally, I will make sure to leave a small hole at the top. It is important for air circulation and to avoid ventilation problems. When the igloo is completely finished, I will go inside to check how it feels. There is nothing like experiencing the result of so much effort and dedication!

I'll be right with you...
