NOTES TO A GENTLEMAN: INTRO PART DEUX

There have been many questions about how this writing challenge will play out, so I thought I might give you a little more information.  The “plan” goes something like this:

Writers will sign up to participate by June 28 by emailing us at ikydu101@gmail.com.  Shortly after this deadline, each writer will receive an email containing the “note,” or visual prompt, which will be received by a gentleman within the story.  You, as the writer, will get to decide the author of the note, the meaning behind the note and the events that either lead up to or follow the delivery of the note.  There will be a general outline to the story, which you will receive in the introduction and confirmation email after signing up to participate, but most of the creative freedom will lie within your hands.  We don’t want to stifle any creative juices you may have flowing!  Word count can be 500 to 5,000 and any style of writing.  

Here is an example of what you could receive:

Dear Writing Participant:

           

                    Here is your visual prompt:  A post-it left on a briefcase.

                Please let us know as soon as possible if a beta is needed for your entry.  Good luck and            happy writing!! 

Team IKY’dU

I’m so excited to see what our fellow shippers will come up with! If you have any further questions, let me know in the comments section. 

Bonne chance, les amis!
