Francesca's Creative October

[Francesca]

Hi everyone! Yes I am in... even if I still have to finish my previous 30 days as a matter of fact!
But nevermind, I'll just carry on from where I am.
I just want to have fun and develop this new found creative habit even more.
Thank you Dan for this wonderful initiative!

[Dan Goodwin]

Great that you're continuing Francesca. Finish the September Thirty tomorrow, then head here for the next Thirty Days!

Looking forward to seeing your creative adventures...

Dan

Hi Dan,

thank you for your encouragement!

In October I will be working on a fairy-tale: I have decided to take part to a competition. The deadline is 23rd of October and I am not sure I can post it here while it is "competing"...there are no indications about this in the guidelines actually, so I may be posting snippets of it...:-)

Let me tell you how much I enjoy being more and more creative every day... you have inspired me!

Thank you,
Francesca

Ok, I haven't logged in for ten days, but I have been sticking to being creative in two ways:

I have been testing and gathering new ideas for my literary research project, which in the end won't be what I thought at first!
It is going to be about magical realism, identity and nationalism...

Secondly,
I have been working at that fairy tale I am submitting by October 23rd.

The first week I was just brainstorming and taking notes about possible subjects and themes.

But then, suddenly all my experiences and perceptions of the last week merged into one idea and yesterday evening
I wrote my fairy tale, which now needs revision.

It is about an angel and a would be writer, and also about all living creatures. It's a metaphysical fairy tale. I would like to post it here, but I am kind of indecisive, since it is meant to run for a competition and don't know if I can post it in an online community. I would love to have somebody comment on it.

How exciting! Your fairytale sounds wonderful! Maybe you can send it to a few people privately, for feedback :)

[Francesca]

Thank you Wendy!
I had already thought about it... would you like to be one of those people?

[Wendy]

Would love to read it! Cool!

[Francesca]

How can I send it to you?

20th Oct.

I have edited my fairy tale and tomorrow I'll submit it...

Sunday I wrote an article about a great and half-unknown Italian writer on Suite101 and plan to write more about her novels...

I just feel I am concentrating on my projects with dedication, it is a blessed time of my life.

Hello Dan!

I would like to send you the fairy tale, if you have time and feel like reading it... it's just about 1000 words
It'smeant to be a "modern German fairy tale".

Love,
Francesca

[Dan Goodwin]
