Inspiration Celebration
A Call For Participation
Chalkboard invites you to participate in our latest project: Inspiration Celebration!
Fierce Force 💃🏼 has inspired us to start recognizing and encouraging the writers who inspire us. She has kicked off our project with “INSPIRATION: HEATH”. As soon as I saw the piece, I knew we wanted to host it here on Chalkboard. When Fierce Force 💃🏼 and I talked, we realized this would be a great way to give some positive feedback to our favorite Medium writers.
We hope you will help us celebrate the authors here on Medium who inspire us all. Pick someone
- Who opens your mind and your heart
- Who always makes you go “Ohh!” or “Hmmm…”
- Who makes you think
- Who deserves to be recognized
Once you know who your inspiration is, write a piece about them to share here on the Chalkboard.
Everyone is welcome to participate. All you need to do is:
- Write a piece about the writer who inspires you
- Add an appropriate picture to the piece
- Attribute your image
- Title the piece “Inspiration:” and the name of your person
- Link the name of the person to their Medium profile (either by @’ing them or by tagging them in the actual piece.)
- Make three of the tags “Chalkboard”, “Inspiration”, and “Celebration”
- If you’d like to publish your response outside of Chalkboard, please do so. But we’d love to see it, so please also respond to this call for participants with a link to your published submission
- If you aren’t a writer for Chalkboard but you want us to host the piece, @ CallKathy in your piece and leave me a note. I will get you added to the publication as a writer!
Pieces will be published when you get them to us. (We decided we couldn’t wait to share all the great responses…)
FAQs:
Are there any style requirements for this collaboration?
While this project is an outgrowth of our one line poems ongoing project, you don’t have to match any particular pattern or length in you piece. We want to see the person and/or why they inspire you.
Do you have some examples of the kinds of pieces you are looking for?
While we are open to any kind of piece for this collaboration, Fierce and I know that starting can be the hardest part of writing. Here are some examples for you to read and (dare I say it) get inspired.
Go forth and share your inspirations!
