August Contest
ContestsOkay, I had the August contest all planned. I was going to require the entrants to take the character that they created in the July contest and put it into a scene for August. Then Fade im'd me and said, "What if someone wants to enter the August contest who didn't enter the July contest?" Excellent point.

So, here we go. Oh, and by the way, the August contest is extended into September. So I put the sample jpegs back out on Facebook. If you can't find them, I can email them to you. Just let me know.

On Facebook, there are three pics I downloaded from the web. Look for Robert Spotts in Southeastern Pa. Or you may click here: Link They are settings. You may use one of them, or one of your own. You have between 500-3000 words. Bring the scene to life.

Oh, just two small things. You have to tell the story in first person. And, if there are characters in your scene, there can be dialog. But you CANNOT participate. You must remain the omnipotent first person observer and narrator at all times.

Good Luck!

How will you know which dream scape we chose? I mean, other than what we say in the writing? Is there some way we are supposed to tell you?

It's too late for this month, but, usually, you would make a link to the picture you want to use. (something I forgot to do Smile )
Then you set the story entry beneath that; see Shinaliz's entry, to see how it should be done.

What is interesting to me is how the characters respond, how they change and grow by facing what often seem overwhelming difficulties.

Glad to be of some inspiration. Smile

Okay, two of us have taken a stab at james posting, 'A Hero As Lover.' Any other takers?

Its okay, Don. Someone has to put them there. I gain solace from the fact I can blame someone. To whom does your finger point, my mentor of mirth?

Oh, great, Verm, putting an idea in Rob's head. Shock
