Welcome To My World

Handing It Over

As of late, I’ve been totally rushed off my feet while I strive to make a writing deadline. Don’t get me wrong, I love working under pressure. It helps me kill more easily. But, while I’ve been busy focusing on mutilation and blood splatter, my blog has been neglected. I know, I know, I’m a wicked, wicked person. So, what I thought would be fun is to hand over the reigns to you guys. No – I’m not dishing out passwords and secret pin numbers so you can actually access my blog…. Intead, I want you budding writers out there to send me your stories.

Okay, the rules.

1.   The theme is anything creepy. That means it has to scare me 🙂
2.   Look at the image above. This is where your story STARTS.
3.   Now look at the background image on my twitter page (by brilliant photographer, Rosie Hardy). This is where your story has to END.
4.   There are to be absolutely NO VAMPIRES.
5.   As I like my posts short and sweet, your stories are to be no more than 1,000 words long.
6.   Email all stories to pointwelldonna@gmail.com by 15th May. The best three will be posted.

I will pick some of the best ones and publish them on this blog.

Good Luck xxx

    Ooooh, what a fun idea! I hope you get some good, creepy entries. I’m not much of a slasher/creepy writer (and certainly NO VAMPIRES!), so I’ll be reading the entries, not participating in writing one. I’m excited to read what you get!

      Vampires are doing my head in at the moment. I like the old style vamps. None of this sparkling rubbish. I’ve probably just made myself public enemy number one, now, haven’t I? 😀

    Fun idea! I just tweeted it – wish I could participate but I’ve got to buckle down and focus on the WIP. Good luck!

    Great idea, Donna. I may be stealing this from you if you don’t mind. 🙂

      You could never steal anything from me, sweetie. Not when I’m happy to share everything. See you next week 😀

    LOL Donna, you just ruled me out of the guest post arena! But it’s a great idea! So great that you’re on the home-stretch of your writing! Talk to you soon! 🙂

      Oh Karen. Go on, dig deep into the depth of your soul. Have a root around and see what you find 😀

    OOOH, sounds like fun! Will see if I can carry through, time being a constant enemy and all!
