September Theme: Swopping Conventions
By month-end, you’ll feel like you’ve wandered into the wrong panel at ComicCon
Last month was tough, challenging and tricky
All that conflict, interacting layers and stringing together series of stories that are all connected somehow— phew! That’s all fine and good for a contest month — it’s good to stretch our writing muscles in unexpected ways.
But this month, we’re due a bit of a breather. So, we’re playing and trying out new things. Seeing what our creative minds can do with new boxes. New constraints, new literary Legos, if you will.
Because trust me next month, is going to a hair-raiser — Paul’s so excited about it we might be in for trouble. There will be blood. There will be ghosts. There will be mayhem. But that’s next month. (note from Paul — dude, that’s every month for me)
This month we’re launching a prison break out of our categories.
“Don’t classify me, read me. I’m a writer, not a genre.”― Carlos Fuentes
I’m usually a Science Fiction or Fantasy writer. But this month, I’ll tear my way out of those boxes. I’ll step away from my unhappy little villages or my cartwheeling space stations.
