A Picture Paints 1000 Words

First, I have a little unfinished business to take care of. I signed our little blog up for Rachael Harrie's Fourth Platform Building Campaign right before my computer died. I've been AWOL ever since.

I apologize, and want to say THANK YOU to those of you who have stopped by. I'll start my rounds this week visiting your blogs.

Now for some new business.

Remember when we talked about blogfests a few weeks back? Well, I think it's time we hosted one here on Unicorn Bell. How about you? Introducing...

Here's how it will work:
1. Sign up in Mr. Linky below.
2. Tell your friends any way you want and send them over to sign up for the party.
3. Choose a picture to inspire your short story (the story can be about what you see in the picture, or just something that it sparked in your imagination.)
4. On Monday-Wednesday (March 26-28), post your story of 1000 words or less and go around to visit the other participants. You may want to post early, see below.
5. The four of us at UB will do the same and pick our four favorites to post links to on Wednesday night.
6. On Thursday you get to read the four and vote for your favorite.
7. The winner will be announced on Friday. They will have a choice between a first chapter critique from those of us at UB, or a $20 gift card to Amazon (courtesy of me).

And now, the pictures. They lean more toward the fantasy and sci-fi genres, but that seems to be what most of our commentators write. Feel free to tweak it to your personal style. Most of all, have fun! I found the first half on Fantasy Art Design, the rest were on my computer in the sample pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CD, Marcy, Jeff and I can play, but will not be in the running for prizes. :)
