FRIDAY FICTION with RONOVAN WRITES

With decades of writing behind me and daily learning of how to be a better writer, and by daily, I do mean constant, I wanted to give a way for current friends and future finders of this blog a way to push themselves to improve as well.

Through this challenge my hopes are you will:

1. Find your voice
2. Step out of comfort zones to discover a genre where your talent truly lies
3. Perhaps make connections that will help you become a better writer

DEADLINE IS:

23:59 EST (New York Time) Wednesday. I will then have Thursday to complete reading the entries and compiling the links and such. I do read all entries. You can ask any of my Haiku Challenge family/community members.

I DO ASK THAT YOU:

• Keep it PG as all ages do follow the blog and may click through and read the entries. (C0ntinue for exceptions.)
  
• If you do write a piece of fiction that goes past the PG level, copy the link into the comments of this post and make a note of it being such and give the reasons you think it is, such as violence, sexual content, language/profanity.
• No violence toward children by adults or predatory aspects toward children. I know you may have two kids have a fight. I get that, but I don’t want gratuitous violence such as glorifying bullying. Also I can see you having a kid kicking some bad guy in the face for some reason. I get it.
  
• No sexual assault against anyone.

WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR WORK OF FICTION:

Copy and paste your URL in the comments of the challenge post, or do a ping back to this post. This does not mean you must share a link today, Friday, just because the challenge says Friday in it. It means you must return to this post or ping back to this post.

Prompt for Challenge #9

FIRST OF ALL: Please remember, this is NOT a race. Take your time. Friday is only a part of the title, not a deadline.

Ticks and tocks of essential time, sink the spirits lower than wine.

1. Include the above sentence somewhere in your work of fiction. (Required.)
2. Keep your word count at no more than 500 words this week. (Suggested.) Do NOT let your story suffer because of the word count limit. Remember, it is a suggested part of the prompt.

Some of you are now yelling at me. This can be a clue, an incantation/spell, a part of a poem, an ad a character reads in a paper or hears on the radio/TV, or just about anything. We often make using a prompt a lot more difficult than it needs to be.

Something to keep in mind this week is to proofread. Before you hit publish, spell check your work. Then read your work again, line by line. Seriously. One thing to do is to take your writing in a Word document and make each sentence a line all its own. There would be no paragraphs. By reading each line one at a time, you will see mistakes easier. I for one know the word you’re has been missed by two authors several times, when it should have been the word your. That could have made it to the published version.

Prompt for Challenge #8

Use the photo above as inspiration. This is a Adansonia gregorii or boab tree found in Australia. I see a lot of possibilities for stories from this one, ranging across genres. This week, don’t worry about word count and let the mind go where it wants.

I know some of you are doing a series, but I can see how this tree could fit in with the stories that are ongoing.

For those already signed  up for the Free eBook Project, please note Smashwords will likely be the first platform used. I am looking into Amazon’s policies, but I know Smashwords allows eBooks FREE all the time, not just a price matching feature. But if I find Amazon is Free from the beginning, then we may go both routes to allow all our friends a chance to read, not just those with Kindle or Kindle apps for eReading.
