Tell Me a Story

Tell me a story of adventure.

It’s official. I am going to make a collection of short stories. Won’t you join me?

I will get a web page up for it soon, but let’s hash out the details.

What do you think?

How long should they be? I’m thinking maybe up to 10,000 words? I’m thinking no minimum. If you can tell a complete story in a few words, its worth looking at. But generally a short story is 5k to 10k, I believe.

Tell me a story about a quiet blacksmith.

Topic? This is tricky. I am writing a couple stories but they don’t have much to do with each other besides people having issues with depression or anxiety. Should it be that? Or how about any neurodivergent occurrence? Does that make sense?

Deadline? I’m thinking publish around new year’s but that means the deadline is like November 15… well, yeah, that seems like enough time. Maybe November 1 so I’m not so rushed in putting it together and getting judges to vote and making a cover, all around the holidays.

Tell me a story about dried flowers.

What about awards? Awards go hand in hand with cost to enter. I like keeping it free, but that means minimal rewards. Is the opportunity to be published and get a free eBook sufficient? And a certificate of publication?

I’d love your thoughts on this. And, any feedback from anyone who participated in the “Their Love” poetry compilation? I’d love to hear from everybody.

Ok. Back to my day job.

For tonight, we write!

Tell me a story of strength.
