Tweet the Dead with Me! Collaborative fiction.
My Croatian travelogue Running Away to Home was partially set in a cemetery. My next book, which is fiction, also creeps around a cemetery.
The Twitter Fiction Festival begins today (totally related, you’ll see). I will be one of 29 featured authors tweeting fiction this week. I’m at @WriterJenWilson.
Inspired by my thing for graves, I’ll post images of gravestones from the cemetery near my home. You make up an epitaph for that grave and tweet it to me. The best epitaph will be posted on this blog, where I’ll write a very short story about it.
A quick breakdown:
1. I tweet the grave pic.
2. You tweet me an epitaph for the poor soul.
3. I choose my favorite and write a short story based on your epitaph on my blog here.
I’ll start today, but we’ll be featured on the Twitter Fiction Festival showcase page on Friday and Sunday at noon EST (11am CST). Tweet epitaphs at that time, and you’ll be starring, too. https://twitter.com/hashtag/twitterfiction
Let’s tweet dead people! They really like when you speak for them. Really. They do. They’ll come and tell you all about it, if you ask them.
Boo,
