DISCUSSION -- OCTOBER 2019 300-word Writing Challenge (#35)

[Ursa major]

The latest 300-worder is up.

As always with the longer form, entries can be posted from the 10th of the month (in this case, October), but that does not mean that no-one can talk about the challenge until then.

And as ever, the image is only there to provide inspiration; your story does not have to reference it, even indirectly.

And I love this Challenge, too (the 75 worder is great this month)! Wonderful photo, Alex Harford. Often, when I look at the Challenge photo, a story just pops into my head, but this one will require some nice, long autumn walks, I can just tell. Looking forward to reading the stories, starting on the 10th! CC

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

Hmmm, another interesting challenge.

As interesting as your new profile pic, @Ian Fortytwo - I love it, is it your own work? A baobab?

No, not mine unfortunately. My artwork is not all that good.

Thanks, but @dannymcg's is the only opinion I care about...

There seems to be a majority voting for the crummy Chinese water picture

(that was the other time a photo of mine was used)

 

[Calliopenjo]

I have the rough draft of something. I'll tinker with it and see if I can at least get the misspellings taken care of. I promise the words do make sense.

 

[Luiglin]

Two words sprang to mind when I viewed the picture. Just a pity about the copyright.

Edit: copyright on the two words. Not the image

 

[Abernovo]

To paraphrase the bard, all the multiverses are a stage. No copyright on those words, after 400 years. Great picture, Alex.

 

[Parson]

One word: Quasimodo

 

[Phyrebrat]

There’s a face peeking out there near the proscenium...

You can get a cream from the Docs for that.

Is it behind the green disc thingy?

 

[Phyrebrat]

Yes. I forget the word for seeing faces in things but it’s more posh than proscenium!

proscenium... Okay, I was in theater in high school, a little in college, and was even paid to play a part professionally (VERY NOMINAL!) and I had to look that word up. It is truly "posh."

Hey I have a degree in theatre and call it in front of the stage
