Indie Authors Monthly Magazine For Authors and Readers discussion

Ok folks, now I'm going to ask for your ideas for challenges, these will mostly be for fun, although a few harder ones may have prizes. Let me know what's on your minds. I'm going to try to come up with one to try here really soon and see how it goes from there. Thanks again for all of y'all's help!!

How about a paranormal creatures challenge. Where members would have to choose a theme for all of their books.

ex: Angels, demons, vampires, fairies, etc.

Each book they choose, would have to be at least about whatever creature they choose.

Wow that's a hard one.... What do you think , for a mont they put down their paranormal creature/entity/whatever then we do it for a month?? And then as you read & finish you add to you list to your post and at the end of the month who ever read the most wins??

I don't know if other authors would be interested in this but Iv'e seen some writing prompt challenges. So a challenge where readers/other authors could prompt short fic ideas and then authors [or reviewers too if they want to dabble!] have an opportunity to write something short [say 1500 wds or less] on it. Boosts writing and I find it's fun to get prompts from people.

I think this is a pretty good idea. :)

Margarita, I have a few ideas along that line that another member suggested. One was show a picture and the challenge/competition be to only use dialogue for the story or use no dialog for the picture ect. I plan to have a few diff competitions & challenges going on at the same time, that way members can pick what they want to do(or all if they want) I know that some of the writing ones would be hard for me, as I've just started dabbling in writing. I'm also going to do games.. just for fun.. Example word association where I out a word like water, then another member puts a word,ex; waves, then so on. Again these would be just for fun, no prizes. Y'all think that would be a good addition to the group?

those sound like awesome ideas! I look forward to them!
