Creating new fiction with randomly selected words

As a writer I am keen to harness the power of words to build new stories. I can’t wait to share my new writing project with you all, where I hope to bring writers and readers together for a bit of fun as part of this writing project.

Three Words: what’s it all about?

When my kids were young, I’d invite each of them to give me a random word. Of course, it was usually ‘dinosaur’, ‘princess’ or ‘cat’. Using the words they gave me, I’d weave together a bedtime story. They had such fun, but fun isn’t only for children!

Each month I will invite YOU to send me one word – any word at all: adjective, noun, verb etc. On the first of the month, I will randomly pull out of a hat three entries. I will then use these to springboard a short fiction, which will be shared via ,my newsletter.

What do I need YOU to do?

Send me your words on social media; ,Facebook, ,Instagram or on ,Twitter add #3words. At the end of the month, I will randomly select three words from all the entries I receive. I will then have 30 days to write a short fiction, which you can receive as a subscriber to ,my newsletter.

Storytelling relies on the use of imagination and inventiveness with words. The best authors are playful, using creativity to explore new worlds and perspectives. I can’t wait to see your suggestions!

I won't tolerate any offensive or abusive words. You will be immediately blocked.
