For the 4 weeks of November: 3, 10, 17 and 24 we will review pieces that people are submitting to the next issue of Mala. So if you have something ready to go, or a piece you would like to run by the group before you submit it, let us know in the next few weeks and we will schedule you in for November.
Due to the popularity of last week’s prompt with its assigned genres, we decided to do the same thing again this week. Popular vote settled on enforcing a genre on our neighbours at the table. If you weren’t there last night but want to join in, you can pick from the ones below or choose one from last week’s selection.
The prompt line is: “And how long would they take to grow?”
The assigned genres are:
Bill E – chick lit
Bill S – straight phychological realism
Cat – grotesque horror Obi – stream of consciousness
John M – humour
Scott – children’s literature
Elias – satire
Jessie – nostalgic reflection
John J – self-help
Jess – technical manual
Matt – business/finance
Zach – detective noir
Aaron – rape of mother earth
Julia – masculine competition
1,000 words is the limit.
May the muse be with you
