Challenge (Re-)Issued: Turner’s Tapestries
Tuesday’s Triptych Tapestry:
I just realised I made a HUGE boo-boo with the deadline for this challenge *looks down and kicks an imaginary obstacle on the floor* I challenged you but set the deadline as 3rd September instead of 3rd October (I know! How careless of me -must have been sleeping or sth…). Therefore, to rectify this and give you a chance to prepare for this with good time, I’m keeping this open until 10th October 2011 (GMT), I will collate all the entries and post them with a new challenge on 11th October 2011 (sorry for the confusion). I have amended the rules slightly, so please read the details below (I will make amendments on the schedule page soon(ish)), thank you for your patience. 
(As always, there is a pdf document at the bottom of the post for those who may find this a difficult read.)
Challenge Issued: Turner’s Tapestries
Every month I issue a challenge to writers and artists alike; to come up with something inspired by the prompts I select and -though it’s still early days, the response I have received is delightful. We are now into month three of issuing Flash Fiction Challenges -last month the challenge was Transparent Tapestries; these brave soul(s) rose to the challenge:
- Sonia G. Medeiros’ story drew me with the opening line and then I was hooked; In Time -is subtle yet craftily written, a pure delight -a must read.
- Radha Pyari Sandhir‘s submission is a delightful read, if you have not read it yet please pop over and read the vivid imageries of Hot Chocolate -it made me want to be a kid again!
- Me, Myself & I -As you already know, I have combined five challenges this month and it turned into: Once-Upon-A-Time -it seemed too basic to write but somehow there was something more, have a read and decide for yourself.
Sonia & Radha thank you for taking part -I hope you both enjoyed the creative journey.
The rules are quite simply this (I’ve made a slight amendment to the rules, please read the notes with the asterisk(s) before submitting your entry):
“Being an artist at heart, I have decided my triptych prompts will be based with an art theme running through it. The prompts will have three parts to it:
- Painting/Photography* by an Artist
- Random lines of Poetry by Poets
- An Art Movement/Writing Genre*
ADDITIONAL RULE
*I am introducing interactive prompts selections, please take note to where I have placed an asterisk (see above); these have one or more prompt types. Please choose a prompt (e.g., painting/photography and art movement/writing genre) and add it to the comments below, the majority votes will indicate which prompt I will choose from -if there are no votes, then I will continue to select as I have up until now.
I will endeavour to select the above through the methods used by surrealist automatism (this will involve selecting imagery by opening books/webpage’s in a random manner). You can choose any of the given prompts -or if you are brave and up to a challenge then use all three prompts! The choice is yours. Word count will be limited to 500-1000 (if it is slightly less or more I will not quibble).
If there are artists who feel inspired to take part with imagery or any poets who want to enter with poems -you too can join in -hey why not make it a mixed media piece!
**Please ensure you provide the link to your entry in the comments of the appropriate post so we can track your entry for reading as well as for collating in the next Flash Fiction Challenge.”
In honour of our busy schedules, I will keep the challenge open for a month. I hope this gives you enough time to ponder on possible creative works. May your muse inspire you always…
Your three prompts for the next four weeks are as follows:

- A few lines of poetry:
Just when I thought I couldn’t stand it
another minute longer, Friday came.
(Accounts of that have everything all wrong.)
Friday was nice.
Friday was nice, and we were friends.
If only he had been a woman!
-Crusoe in England by Elizabeth Bishop
- Art Movement: none -for this month, rather than go along with an Art Movement I have decided to select a Writing Genre instead; for this challenge your genre is Comic Fantasy.
*If you are looking to enter with a Poem or a Visual Image then the word count is not applicable (having said that; fellow Poets, if you are generous with your words then maybe keep in mind to not over-exceed the maximum word allowance).
Well that’s the rules, the deadline is at midnight GMT on 10th October 2011 (I will be collating all entries in the next Triptych Tapestry which is scheduled to be posted 11th October 2011).
Enjoy and above all have fun!
In the meantime, if you want to see how the game I have devised is shaping up please pop on over to: A Fun Game – In Your Head (Part Deux).

Until the next few minutes/hours, have a relaxing interlude.

Challenge Issued: Turner’s Tapestries (A Reminder)
Tuesday’s Triptych Tapestry:
I was hoping to have written a Flash Fiction piece for today but I’ve had a busy few days and today my head hurts so I think I need a lie down away from the laptop. The following two weeks will also be a bit busy for me therefore, I am unsure how my articles for the blog will fair; I will do my best to plan and schedule as and when I can. If I fail to post according to my schedule, please be understanding; I will be back on top of things as soon as I am able. In the meantime, here is a reminder to the challenge I issued a couple of weeks ago -as well as the entries from last month’s challenge. I hope your muse will be inspired to take the challenge.

In the meantime, if you want to test yourself and the voices of the characters you come up with why don’t you take a gander at this game I have devised: A Fun Game – In Your Head. I hope to be back with a ROW80 update tomorrow (let’s see how plans fair), until then have a brilliant day.

Challenge Issued: Turner’s Tapestries & a Campaign
Third Writers’ Platform-Building Campaign:
Copyright © JYS at A Writerly Pensheep
Before I issue you with another tantalizing triptych tapestry (I know, but please be patient), I wanted to announce that I will be taking part in the Third Writers’ Platform-Building Campaign (I’m really excited). The what? -I hear you ask… To tell the truth I had not heard about the campaign either -not until Anne-Mhairi Simpson mentioned it on her blog -Anne-Mhari thanks for the heads-up. Essentially, from what I gather, it’s a platform where writers of all kind interact with each other (similar to ROW80 but with no set goals -other than engaging with each other and building platforms together by sharing experiences and advice etc, etc, etc…). I am hoping this will teach me more and hopefully I will become more focused and network better and effectively as well as sharing my newfound wisdom with you all. For more information, please head over to Rachael Harrie’s blog.
