I look forward to sharing the creative experience with you!
In the spirit of sharing, please have a look at Bolts of Silk and my poem, and do consider submitting something in support of this worthy publication.

It should go without saying--not under any circumstances is the prompt to be used for personal monetary gain; it is the rightful creative property of another.

Ooh..I'm looking forward to doing this!
ReplyDeleteI'll try and make time for this! Beautiful prompt~ x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad. And do feel free to say so if a month is not nearly enough time for you.
DeleteHey, Christie; it's Laura from the book club. I just want to make sure I'm not doing it wrong. . .the picture is the prompt, right?
ReplyDeleteHi Laura!
DeleteAbsolutely. In the future I hope to use musical pieces and sentences as well. c:
Got it done!! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteMine is late, but I'm going to put it up anyway? And try to do better next time??? It's also probably full of typos. I'll fix it tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI also completely didn't realize the picture was angels until I went to grab the file just now and so they are pixies in the story. Or something. Sorry :(
Hey Laura! It doesn't matter, and, It doesn't matter!
DeleteThe InLinz thing is actually open 'til tomorrow, and you don't have to follow the prompt rigidly. Only the most vague of inspirations will suffice. I don't want the prompt to be limiting! Looking forward to reading it!
I wouldn't worry, Laura, I made them blood-thirsty water-demons. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Laura, your story rocked.
ReplyDeleteThanks, M.! I tried despite my extreme time limitations (that I brought on myself).
Deleteactually it looks like no one thought they were angels after all, so I feel relieved that I haven't actually Strayed from the Prompt.
I'm excited to read them; I've been knocked over by a really bully of a cold this past week, so I've been neglectful of friends and duties. It keeps tricking me into thinking it's gone and comes back. Arg! Anyway, thank you so much for participating, and will read them as soon as I can!
DeleteHope you feel better soon!
