Welcome to the deranged and cluttered mind of a storyteller. Listen to me rant about plots spinning out of control and characters who refuse to cooperate. Watch me grapple with myth and legend until they have turned me into their plaything. Hear me rave about the wonders I have met in the pages of a book as I try to grasp the words that made them and then . . . . tell me a story. I am listening.

F: Fertility (Literary Idol Challenge)
Spring is in the air. (well actually, at the moment fog is in their air but fog leads to rain and plants need rain to grow so . . . yeah. Spring. Just the colder part) The pollen. The growth. The richness of the land. Animal births. The festivals of fertility. Spring is so much more exciting than summer. Everything is shifting and anything could happen -- is about to happen.
For this this month's Literary Idol Challenge:
Write 50-1,000 word story that in some way ties into the ideas of birh, change, and the celebration of life.
Send your submission to:
featherzines@yahoo.com
before Monday the 24th, on which day I will post the submissions to be voted on. I know a lot of you will be pretty busy with the A-Z challenge so I tried to keep the theme pretty loose. You can always dig up something you've worked on in the past. If it doesn't obviously feature fertility you can include a sentence of two explaining how you feel it connects to the general idea. Thank you all so much! I hope to see some of your masterful storytelling soon!

*thunk* << that's the sound of me hitting the floor at the thought of another challenge. LOL. But I'll check in to see what others have written.

ReplyDeleteYay spring! I love how everything is all green and lush. In summer it's warm and sparkly outside, but all the pretty grass turns brown. There's something to love about every season I guess.
