Write and Link #5: As Leaves Turned Yellow

Rowan Leaves and Hole by Andy Goldsworthy (born 1956) (source)

Hello everybody and welcome to the 5th monthly creative writing link-up!

If you are new to my blog, here is what this is all about. 

This is a unique link-up on the web - a celebration of creative writing for everyone who loves it, writers and readers alike. 

Every month, we are given a phrase that participating writers are free to interpret and incorporate in a short story (1000 words or so). The phrase for September is "As leaves turned yellow...". After the writing is completed, at the end of the month, we share our stories with each other and readers who are interested. Anyone is welcome to join in. You can find all writers participants and their stories under the label WRITE AND LINK. I usually open the link-up on the 26th of every month and close on the 1st of the following month, when it's time to start working on the next month's story, the phrase for which I provide at the end of the same post. If you have not had a chance to write a story in September yet, then you still have time till October 1st - so do write and link your story here! I hope that we all have more energy as Autumn begins for both creating stories and supporting each other with a kind word. Here is to a new dynamic Write and Link #5!

Sincerely,

Natalia

The phrase for October writing:

"Do you believe in magic?"

WRITE AND LINK: HOW IT WORKS
once a month at In The Writer's Closet

WRITE a short story (1000 words - a little more, a little less is OK)
POST it on your blog
LINK back to this post (in your post, publish a link to this post)
SUPPORT fellow writers: read and comment
HAVE FUN writing and reading!

A couple of problem solvers:

Please put the link to your story post (not your whole blog) in the field "URL",
and your story title and your name in the field "Name" (i.e., "Fish Wish by Natalia Lialina") - that's how readers will see all the titles and writers.

An opening phrase for the next month's Write and Link is provided at the end of my story.

And now - write, link and enjoy!
