Okay so here goes nothing, or everything depending on how you look at it.
After a bit of discussion Elo and I decided we liked this challenge enough to give it one more go. Based on the feedback we received, I extended the time to three weeks and am willing to make it a full month if you like. Let me know.
Also I did not add a theme this time.
The whole point of this challenge is that we are all inspired in different ways, so we wanted to see where each individual author would go when given the same starting point. The fact that these are just certain things you must include as opposed to a starting off sentence or a theme/idea, only gives you more freedom as a writer.
I really hope you all will try this challenge out. Feel free to leave more feedback in the thread in the mailbox or in the rules and guidelines thread for this challenge.
Here we are...
1. Object: Guitar
2. Quote: "hide me"
3. Character: Neville
4. Sound/Smell: Onion(s)
5. Flora/Fauna: Fanged Geranium(s)
6. Choice: a waving wand
I put these together with the help of some of the kids around me at the moment. Remember you only need to use three of the above in your story and they can just be in passing. However I was thinking we should give a bonus point to those who use all six. What do you think?
Good luck everyone!
