Day 53 - Coffee Fiction

This has to be to date one of my favorite cards.  As most of us share not only a love for coffee but the need to be able to wake up in the morning with it, is felt in this here artist trading card (ATC).

This is a card I had originally created for the 6 word fiction swap, but I just couldn't part with it.

This is Day 53's ATCs that I submitted in the 2010 Project ATC 36a5.

Day 51 - Girl Meets Boy ATC

This artist trading card (ATC) was created based, again, on the 6 word fiction.  Simply put is this: "Girl Meets Boy. Seed Planted. Due?"

This is Day 51's ATCs that I submitted in the 2010 Project ATC 365.

Day 48 - Got Rocket?

In an earlier post I wrote about 6 word fiction.  This is the "Got Rocket?" artist trading card (ATC).

This is Day 48's ATCs that I submitted in the 2010 Project ATC 365.

6 Word Fiction! Say What?

It has been said that Ernest Hemingway made a bet with his colleagues that he could write a story in only 6 words. While, this has never been proven to be true, it is still something that individuals today set out to do. There are a number of sites and one magazine that actually lists these types of writings, but the question remains about Hemingway being the first to establish this.

There is NO proof anywhere of a napkin with the story "For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn." There is proof, however, that the words "baby shoes, never worn..." were used in an advertisement from 1945, which stated:

None the less, "flash" fiction has come up in an artist trading card (ATC) swap that I was going to participate in and I thought I would share with you what I came up. I do have to admit, though, writing these can be addictive and fun!
