Let me know what you think about this - Eric Nolan's Blog

<P>I have been toying with the idea of creating a contest of my own. Though I have a habit of veering from&nbsp;the format as it were, I guess I just need to mix things up sometimes. I was wondering&nbsp;rather than just another poetry contest if it would be accepted both by my fellow writers and with the powers that be if I could post the beginning of a story I have been writing. The idea being that those interested would continue it and be judged upon that criteria. I do realize that it's not poetry, but I am betting that some of you write more than just poems as I do. I would like to know if this would be a fun little project to offer or am I just going against the&nbsp;norm ? Your thoughts ? As always thank you for your time. </P> <P>Eric </P> <P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>

Sue Mason Date: 8/28/2009 9:04:00 AM We've had writing like this in the past, Eric ... smile ... folks just start a sentence, add to that ... don't know how long the stories got but yes, it sounds like fun ... don't know how you would judge it though ... Login to Reply

Danielle White Date: 8/27/2009 4:01:00 PM Maybe limit entries to 3 or 4 sentences and see what kind of story comes out. This reminds me of an old parlour game...I'll gladly throw my two cents in! Could be a blast or fall flat on its face. ***Danielle*** Login to Reply

Eric Nolan Date: 8/26/2009 7:44:00 AM Carol I know exactly what I am asking I do not need to think about it, I posted this to simply to see if it would be of any interest rather than the same old format. Your honesty is appreciated and btw my book has been published long ago. Good day to you. Login to Reply

Carol Sunshine Brown Date: 8/26/2009 5:06:00 AM Eric, my opinion is this is not a good idea. I have a couple reasons why but.........think about what you are asking. Others may go along with it but as I said it is not a good idea to ME. Love and best wishes in finishing your book and getting it published, Carol Login to Reply
