Summary

The webpage content showcases a collection of creative works by various authors, prompted by the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators' (SCWBI) 31 Days in May Challenge 2020, with a focus on celebrating the community and the individual contributions to the challenge.

Abstract

The content presented on the webpage is a catalog documenting the literary and artistic creations of numerous participants in the SCWBI's 31 Days in May Challenge. This initiative, which took place in May 2020, encouraged writers and illustrators to produce daily works based on provided prompts. The page highlights the collaborative spirit of the challenge, acknowledging the contributions of writers, readers, and the Illumination community. It expresses gratitude to poetry, which became a significant form of expression for the author during the challenge. The catalog includes a diverse range of pieces, from haikus and tankas to free verse and short stories, all inspired by the prompts from SCWBI Western Australia. The webpage serves as a testament to the creativity and versatility of the participants, and it invites readers to continue engaging with the works even after the challenge has concluded.

What a month.

This was the first writing challenge I was able to see from start to finish.

I wouldn’t have made it through without those who played along with me. The writers, the readers, the clappers, the responders (I am still working my way through these) and of course the amazing Illumination community.

Poetry needs a big thanks too. Who knew I would be so drawn to it when challenged to write everyday?

I am taking a page out of Kevin’s book and I won’t put the author tag against each of the pieces BUT I have to give a massive virtual hug and shout out of appreciation to the amazing writers that shared creations prompted by play. In no particular order

The prompts all coming from the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators – Western Australia. Big thanks to them too!

Even though the month has come to an end, feel free to be inspired by any of the prompts. Would love to be given a nudge to read words created with them in mind anytime.

Without further delay, here is the list of creations :

Please let me know if I have missed any and I will be more than happy to add it in.

Thank you for being you.
