North Texas Speculative Fiction Workshop
Story Challenge Update
STORY CHALLENGE: Story must be titled “The Accidental Sheep” and must pertain to the story somehow
DUE: April meeting (Apr 10)
WORD COUNT: usual, less than 8K
GUIDELINES:
At ConDFW, we had our regular meeting for Feb in the bar. One thing led to another, and Becky was telling us about her illicit affair with her new sheep (snicker). This thing has the hots for her and follows her everywhere (Becky, you have to tell the REAL story LOL).
So we decided in our infinite variations of inebriation, that our next story challenge was to write a short story titled “The Accidental Sheep”, the caveat is, it has to be linked to the story somewhere, somehow. (ie, can’t just write a short story and name it that).
This is completely voluntary. Don’t worry about the story being perfect or even making a lot of sense. The purpose of this excercise is to stimulate your Muse and get writing. Edit and polish as much as you can, but this is more for fun at this stage, than for publication.
At April’s meeting, we’ll compare stories. We’ve gotten some real winners from these story challenges. Some have published them and won contests from them.
This is a “no pressure, just for fun” thing.
