Writerz Block Editing Service Presents:
A Word To The Wise- Advice for Creative Writers.
This blog is a recent addition to my services as I offer my expertise in the realms of writing and publishing. The one thing that matters the most to me is being able to help my clients, or potential clients, in any way that I can. One of the main focuses of my business is to not just edit the creativity of my very talented clientele, but to instruct so that they can grow in their own writing.
We have all had those days. The ones where we wished that we had stayed in bed with a good book and a glass of wine. Those days kick our collective behinds. When we hear of our friends having those sorts of days, we can’t help but consume ourselves with the feeling of schadenfreude mixed with empathy; we’ve all been there (we’re just glad its you and not us at the moment).
Thus, ‘The Chronicles of a Really Bad Day’ was born via the Nanowrimo group on Facebook. Inspired by my series of crappy days, I decided to write a novella following a man who had about as good of luck as I had. This novella ended up inspiring another writer to write one of her own. From there, it inspired an anthology that welcomes all author’s take on the subject. Murphy’s Law has on more than one occasion, bludgeoned us into submission and it sucks. It reminds us of others who have it far worse, though, that’s the sad reality of it.
Kelly Nutting, John Murray McKay (author of The N Days series), and myself have begun the first steps in cultivating this anthology series through its Facebook page with other members on the Wrimo group. We will maintain up-to-date information and guidelines for the anthology. We welcome all writers, authors, poets, and wrimos to submit. Proceeds will go toward a charity that will be voted upon by the community, but one that must help others; the individuals hit hard by circumstances or the economy. Everyone could use some help every so often and sometimes people don’t have just one bad day, but a series of bad days.
Guidelines:
Poetry should be 36 lines max and should maintain the theme. Short stories must be between 2,500 and 5,000 words. Email submissions to writerzblock007@gmail.com, subject line should read ‘Chronicles of a Really Bad Day’. Submission deadline to be announced. We will hold a contest for the cover art.
If anyone would like to help us out with this anthology, contact one of the admins on the Facebook page.
If accepted, short stories and poetry will be edited via Writerz Block editing services.
Stories should elicit a feeling of schadenfreude, perhaps a good laugh, or maybe even horrify the reader into the reality that sometimes life knocks you hard. Any genre is welcome except erotica, but must maintain the theme of Murphy’s Law. The aim is for this series to be a sort of ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’ for adults (without the comics). Maybe we’ll do a comic version in the future, who knows? We look forward to reading your work!
