perhaps a small fanfare....
The first country is...
AUSTRIA
So off you go to your craft spaces, run,run,run...go make your postcards. You have until the weekend.
Begin your characters conversations...
what will they say to each other?
Don't worry about what the story should be, or how it will develop rather let it happen by itself, enjoy the week by week meandering, listen to the flashes of inspiration that prod and poke you into different directions. This journey should be full of surprise and discovery and not fully known ahead of time.
Above all, don't worry about whether it is right or wrong, good or bad...just dive right in.
Do not post your cards before Friday..
On Friday I will show you my card front and back, in that post I will include a Mr.Linky widget thingie, so you can link up when your card is done. Just put your name and a link to where your card can be found, either on your own blog or on the Flickr group.
Keep visiting here from Friday to Sunday to blog hop around and see all the cards.
on Sunday evening I will randomly draw 3 names from the people that have joined in and linked up, those 3 people will receive a lil packet of postage stamps from me. Also some air mail stickers and some photo corners to try out.The stamps will correspond with some of the countries that we will visit.
If you wish to use stamps on your cards, and don't have any then
take a look here... they are free collage sheets that you can print out.

Guess who was awake to come and look after all! Now what to do? Stay in bed and rest or start making my postcard? Decisions decisions! Happy rating everyone! See you Friday for posting!

ReplyDeleteHi Darcy, can I ask a question please? I haven't been able to get to see a copy of the book that's inspired this challenge therefore I was wondering do the addresses of the two characters keep changing according to the last location they visited or do they have two 'home' locations where the postcards are sent each time?
ReplyDeleteHi Darcy..
ReplyDeleteSorry to trouble you, but I have been having problems with my blog, (Iam new at this game.a silver surfer lol.)I have now changed it so can you delete me from the previous list and add me again, and I hope it will take you to my blog..
