I’m thrilled for my friend (and partner on The Yarn) Colby Sharp.

I’m also honored to be one of the contributors to the project. (Click here to see the complete list of contributors at Watch. Connect. Read.)

Here’s how things have gone down so far.

I sent in two writing prompts. One I wrote, one I drew.

I waited.

Then a couple of days ago, a package arrived.

It has a logo. It’s real.

Inside were two writing prompts from another contributor (I’d say who, but what fun would that be???)

Mysterious close up of one the story prompts I received.

Also, a fine hat.

Fine hat.

My job? Pick one of the two prompts and get to work.

Sketching out the story.

Next step: finish my story and send it in. And wait.

The Creativity Project will arrive in 2018. I can’t wait to see how this crazy thing turns out.
