Depending on how many we get, we might round up.
You have until next Sunday evening Pacific Time to share your author reading.
You may enter more than once.
The SBI will be shared among the participants this time but we are open to suggestions.
Pick your favorite and tell us in the comments
Please let us know in the comments what you prefer - and we are open to sponsors!!
First you have to write your story. At this time, you may choose any freewrite prompt we have had in the past. In the future, we might change that to a specific prompt.
Rewrite and edit your story to your heart’s content. You also have no length constrictions - it is entirely up to you.
Read and record your story on video. Publish to DTube (and YouTube).
Use the tags: freeread, onelovedtube, and if you wish, family77
Drop a link to your reading in the comments section of this post.
Here are some hints:
I have Apple devices and will share here what I am doing.
Another suggestion on recording audio
I record mine directly onto the laptop
iMovie and almost all video editors have the record function, just click on the microphone button and it records on the voice track and then you can edit accordingly :)
After all that, drop the link in the comments of the contest post.
If you are running into problems, make sure to check out the OneLoveDTube discord. On the discord, lots of tech support is waiting for you. They are a great bunch of people. Don’t hesitate to ask questions.
Here is your invite to the One Love DTube channel
The most wonderful thing about this contest that we are in cooperation with OneLoveDTube! Two communities working together is always better than everyone doing their own thing.
Right now, as with any brand-new things, we shall see where it leads us. My true hope is that we, as a community, will be shaping this contest - including the questions we asked above. Here they are again.
Also, at a future time, I want to create a Freewrite House podcast that will feature selected readings as part of the podcast. That will give the authors a much wider audience.
Other plans are to gather selected freewrites into e-books with an audio-book companion.
Those are ideas, dreams, plans at this point and together, we can make it happen!
Here is the YouTube version if needed.
Coming:
* Month-long fiction contest
* Stories of Venezuela
