What better way to start your Sunday than to vandalise the morning paper with a creative writing exercise? I simply can’t look at newspaper articles the same any more. See my previous post about “Blackouts” to find out what this is all about.
What a wonderful metaphor for political punditry! I sometimes feel as though our US Congressman/Senators are performing a blackout exercise daily! They eliminate what doesn’t suit them to craft their own reality! Sorry. I must be in a dark mood today…
Before the whole NYWM website went bye bye, I said that the best two responses to this blackout writing exercise/competiton would win a book prize courtesy of http://www.blemishbooks.com.au
Well, I stand by this offer. Your blackout writing responses were prolific and pretty great. Along with Samantha (http://littlegirlwithabigpen.wordpress.com/) you are a winner at blackout writing and I’d like to send you your book prize! Congrats!
If you could send your postal details to duncanfelton at gmail dot com , I’ll get your prize in the mail to you!
Congrats again, and I hope you had a truly frabjous NYWM.

I like the first one and “You concern others.” :-P
I’m a Cancer, and I’m pretty sure I do concern others!
Your Leo horoscope has held true for me so far today – but its still early : )!

No, no…by all means dark mood away! In any case, it often does seem that way with politicians…
I sure hope none of my close friends are Scorpio!
I know many Scorpios! Uh oh!
