writercises | EXERCISE: Elusive subs? Let's get started! (Reply)

Original Posting 11 March 2011 (as part of a campaign to drum up more submissions to the Writers List)

Ha! You thought I'd forgotten, in the midst of earthquake, flood, and fire? No, no, I remembered.

Okay. The target is Sunday, March 27. You can post before that, but let's try to get at least one story (or other work) written by then, okay? That means written and submitted right here, actually, since we're promoting the elusive subs.

Topic, if you want to try it? How about these three things?

Twins. I was actually watching a pair of young women who sing together when I thought of this, but you're welcome to make your twins anything that works for you. Or even have one twin.

Falling from churches. I was thinking of the Christchurch, New Zealand, church which has turned up on our news several times, and the steeple that had fallen. But you can have literal collapse like that, you can do metaphorical falling, or whatever twists your interest.

And, for a bit of whimsy, how about country music? Or whatever genre you like, delivered in your preferred way (does anyone still listen to AM radio? bzzt-click-sputter...).

Okay? Twins, falling from churches, and country music. Mix, match, twist to your heart's delight.

And write!
