---September's Game---
*waltzes in* I'm baaaackkk!! Hi guys! I realize it's been a hot minute, and I apologize. The good news is, this summer has been fantastic and incredibly productive. ^_^
Fall is just around the corner, so I thought it would be fun to do a season-themed game this month. :)
The Rules:
Pick a scene from a recent WIP where the season is pretty obvious throughout your description.
Rewrite the scene to the opposite season: if it's in winter, set it in summer; if it's in fall, set it in spring; etc.
---May's Game---
Well apparently I missed April's game entirely. Sorry, guys. *blinks at self* At least I remembered May exists, amiright? XP
This month should be a bit of a challenge for you, but the end result should be both entertaining and visually appealing. No, you're not drawing something. :P
The Rules:
Write a story or a poem in a shape. Could be a tree or triangle or heart or whatever, but the end product has to be an obvious shape.
Follow site rules and have fun!

Hey Joelle! Is there going to be a game / challenge for June? Don't skip it please. I really look forward to these games.
---March's Game---
Hey folks, welcome to March! Sorry this is so late. XD
Anyway, we've done a lot of character/world-focused games in the past few months, so I decided to do something a bit different and focus on actually writing.
Yes, I know. Writing is hard. But hey, it's good to stretch yourself. ;P
The Rules
Pick a playlist and put it on shuffle. You'll need songs with lyrics.

sunlight
I've been staring the sky for the past half hour, sand gritted under my toes and arms crossed behind my head as I lie on the beach.
The tide is high, and water laps at my toes like a hungry dragon.
That's what Lily would say if she were here, anyway. She was always the fantasy-lover, living in a world of mermaids and phoenixes, a vibrant world she'd invited me into.
Ugh, I hate this part. The soul-scraping memories that surface in my moments of solitude. The wanting, the not-having.
"Keep your head up," she would scold me if she were still here, with that wise, gentle tilt to her eyebrow. "I know it seems hard to believe, but just because it's been a hard year doesn't mean the sun will never come out again."
And I know it's true. I've seen glimpses of sunlight, heard laughter and felt snatches of joy. I've made new friends and found love.
I've lain on beaches at dawn and watched light wash over the world.
But then I can't help but sit and wait till it's gone.
Because no matter how tightly I cling, it slips through my fingers like water, leaving as fast as it comes.
Is it even worth it, Lord? The loving, the hurting?
I close my eyes as the dawning sun soaks my skin, a salty breeze tangling my curls.
And with a quiet sigh, the answer comes.
Always.
I let out a sad chuckle. Jesus knew that better than anyone else. He'd given himself up to death all for the sake of love.
I'm just a human, so I forget.
But I know it's true.
Love is worth it.

There ya have it! Here are the songs/lines I used...
"Keep your head up." (LIFT MY HANDS by Forrest Frank)
"It's been a hard year." (Faithfully by TobyMac)
"I hate this part." (is it really over? by Forrest Frank)
"Seems hard to believe" (Abandoned by Benjamin William Hastings)
"I'm just a human." (Is It A Sin? by John Michael Howell)
"the tide is high" (Take You At Your Word Cody Carnes and Benjamin William Hastings)
"I've been staring at the sky" (Dear Growing Up by John Michael Howell)
"Why do I sit and wait till it's gone?" (Beautiful Things by Benson Boone)
I'll tag @Kaytlin Phillips cause she knows at least one of these songs! XD
