Plot Box Of Doom

hello Salem Wrimos! it's robert, your challenge guy. sorry that i'm late getting these started but hey, better late than never right? so, this is how the challenges work...

1. read the challenge carefully. there may be certain criteria that must be met.
2. be creative! let your mind wander and make a colorful trail over whatever media you prefer.
3. bring your entry to a weekly write-in for acknowledgement.
4. winners will receive a chocolate reward.

so, are you ready? here's your challenge...

Challenge #1: It's All Relative
We all have them. Whether we admit that or not is another question. You know who i'm talking about. That crazy aunt with twenty cats. Or that uncle who insists that he was abducted by aliens and always wants to show you the scar where they inserted the probes. (ew!) Or that little sister or brother that you don't want to claim because they are the spawn of Satan. Well, it's time to admit that relationship to the world.

Your challenge is to add one of your relatives to your novel.. I'm especially looking for the wackier relations. They must interact with one or more of your regular characters over the course of not longer than a half page. (You can keep them as a character if you want. I just want to see their introduction and what makes them... special.)

This challenge is open to everyone. This challenge is open all month.
__________

so, there you have it. are you up for the challenge? remember these key items:

* add a crazy, wacky or otherwise unique relative to your novel
* don't go over half a page
* bring your entry to get your reward

i look forward to seeing your ideas!

We will, we will... write you!

Dear Robert,

Thanks for the great challenge. It got me out of a lull in my book. There is nothing worse than the doldrums. Your challenge put the wind back in my sails. I'll show you my unique relative on Sunday. See you there.
