It's Monday!

Good morning, readers!

Hope you all had a good weekend. I certainly did and I'm ready for the first round of story suggestions! In case this is your first time reading my blog I'll repeat my last post and add some new info.

I started this blog for the purpose of improving my writing skills. I believe God gave me a talent for writing but, like any talent, it takes hard work and dedication to grow and improve. I'm hoping all of my readers will help me do that.

This is how I want the blog to work:

Every Monday I'll ask my readers for suggestions for short story topics. By "short" I mean between 1 and 3 pages on Microsoft Word.
I'll pick one of the suggested topics and write a story about it. I'll take most of the week to write and edit the story and then on Saturday I'll post it here and open it up for comments.
Since the purpose of the blog is to improve my writing and not just feel good about it, I welcome constructive criticism as well as compliments.

Today is the first day I open my blog up for story suggestions so I wanna post some more guidelines about how I want things to go.

-Since these stories are going to be short, the topics for the stories have to be short. I'm thinking your topic should be about 1 or 2 sentences. That being said...


-Your topic suggestion should be simple. If you write a whole paragraph about a story idea I'll be impressed but pass on your topic and suggest you write your own story about it. Think of a very simple plot that can be fully explained and resolved in 1-3 pages. 


-Let's keep everything G rated. I'm not going to write stories about "adult" topics. I wanna keep this blog fun for everyone and not awkward. 


-If I write a story on your topic or even another topic and you think it's just so amazing and you want to share it on your blog, Facebook etc., please credit me when you share it. 


-No one reading this blog has my permission to take credit for, copy, alter or publish any work that I write on this page without my consent! (I know my friends wouldn't do anything like that but I don't know who else is reading this blog since it's public.) If I find that someone publishes my story without my consent I will pursue legal action against that person. 


Now that all the icky rules are out of the way, I'd like to open the floor up for story topics. Remember: keep it simple, between 1 and 2 sentences. 3 *might* be acceptable but no paragraphs please.
I'll pick a topic by the end of the day and take until Saturday to write the story.

Alright, your turn. Suggest away!
