Elise Matthesen

There needs to be another good thing in the world today, so this is an experiment in creativity, work, appreciation, and reward.

This is a LionessElise writing challenge based on the piece "Moon in a Rocking Chair", which is a pendant of sterling silver and opal. (NOTE: you will probably have to scroll down to view the pendant at that link, so scroll down past the "similar items" there.)


Here are the directions:

1. Go look at the piece as linked above.

2. Write something short (500 words or less) inspired by your viewing of the piece.

3. Send your submission to jenettsilver@gmail.com using the subject line "LIONESS CHALLENGE: Moon in a Rocking Chair" before or on March 5, 2019. Please pay attention to submission guidelines about limits on length. Submissions over 500 words will be discarded by Jenett before the proper length entries are anonymized and sent on to the judge/judges, who will include (but might not be limited to) me.



The winner will receive the pendant "Moon in a Rocking Chair" and bragging rights. The winner retains all copyright to their work(s). If the winner posts the winning piece somewhere linkable, I will be happy to link to it if the winner provides me with a link.

The Lioness reserves the right to award other prizes if it seems like a good idea at the time.

Thank you, and good luck.

EDITED TO ADD: I have chosen a winner, and will be announcing it on Tuesday, March 12, if all goes well. Wow, were there ever such great entries! It made judging really difficult and I loved it.

There will be another challenge coming soon. Thank you all for spreading the word, submitting work, and just generally being awesome.
