I'll be doing a bit of final packing for my trip to Europe, so I'm going to get right to it.
The theme for May/June is:
Famous Adaption
Take your favorite famous book. Write a scene from it. In a totally different genre.
Bonus points if the reader can guess the original book without you telling us. More points if you can do the scene without it strictly being from the book itself, but we get the same sense from it.
Word Count: No more than 300 words.
Closing Date: 30 June 2013
Prizes: $10 Amazon Voucher or a 10 chapter critique by me or a query critique by me.
PLEASE NOTE!!! Don't enter your link until you've written your entry. I want to be linked directly to your Word Master Challenge Post. NOT to your blog's home page. Also, please make it clear that the entry is in fact for the Challenge. I don't want to wonder about this later. Easiest way to do this is to copy/paste the badge above. Or to start the post's title with "Word Master Challenge".
That's it from me. What do you think of the Challenge's theme?
See you in about ten days!
Sounds good, hope the idea is a success.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.

DeleteYes, a wonderful fun idea, and one that the writing gurus always recommend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole. It's sort of one of my secret goals for the challenge, to actually help people write. :-)

ReplyDeleteAwe too bad you can't. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThat's a really fun idea! It also sounds like a great writing exercise to get the creative juices flowing.
ReplyDeleteI think so too. Have tried it myself on occasion, (take one Bible book and write it as Sci Fi) and came up with some seriously interesting results. :-)
DeleteWhat a fun idea! Wish I could participate but we're in the chute for our summer holiday.
ReplyDeleteOoh enjoy it!
DeleteHad to rewrite a scene from a book in english one time, loved it, great idea, totally on this when I steal some time... now to find a book :S
ReplyDeleteOoh awesome! I'm sure you'll come up with something amazing.
DeleteMmm... sounds like loads of fun... *dons thinking cap*

ReplyDeleteI'm also looking forward to seeing the entries. :-)
DeleteSounds like awesome fun, and has my creative wheels turning already . . . now I need to make the time to make it happen.
ReplyDeleteOoh great! I hope you find the time. :-)
DeleteOophs I sent a linky thinking that was where the comments were, then saw comment section. Continuing to work my way through the road trip linky. Have a great trip.

DeleteWhat a fantastic challenge. I wish I had time to join. Good luck with it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Too bad that you can't join. :-)
DeleteHave a lovely trip. I hope you share some pics and stories on your way back. And I'm winking at this challenge. I think I'll spread the word, too...
ReplyDeleteOh I definitely will be sharing pics. Probably on my other blog, though. :-)
DeleteOh, I guess I posted mine. Ever forget you scheduled a post?
ReplyDelete......dhole
Oh yeah. I also forget to schedule posts. ;-) Thanks for entering!
DeleteI do do them every so often. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteEek! I needed to resubmit mine when I found the first link I posted didn't work because of a spelling error. I am very sorry about the mix up. But I'm psyched to read all the entries that come in. This was a fun project. It even inspired my husband!
ReplyDeleteAnother great idea, Misha. Now if part of your trip goes to Scotland, I am going to be really jealous! ;)
