Writing & Visual Creation Challenge.

Please Can I Have A Treble Double? With Ice. No Slice. Tall Glass.

Double The Work. Double The Buzz. Double The Exposure.

Shoutout to Dr Mehmet Yildiz & Timothy Key. These two gentlemen support me on a consistent basis. Inspiring me to try different approaches and methodologies to gain experience in vast skill-sets that they have both achieved continued recognition and reward. My journey in 7 months has started with a metaphorical dipping my toes in the Medium waters to now being an editor of the Illumination publication and actively promoting our Illumination YouTube Channel.

I have also launched my own small publication The Wide Open Space. This where writers can come and write & create in a freestyle area where you may want to try out a new methodology or skill-set.

I say in my little mantra “Stretch Out & Chillax.” I believe in this because it can be quite overwhelming with all the rules & regulations working within the Medium digital platform & Life In General.

So everyone is welcome all I ask is your respect and support of each other. Because there is no I in a team, but there is in giving positivity & kindness.

Right then, This is my proposed new writing challenge/prompt.

#1. Create a piece of written content and submit it to my little publication. I’m giving you the “freestyle” tagline because I want you to be able to create with no boundaries. This will be published in my small publication.

#2. Once you have created your written piece of content then you have it ready for submission. You must complete the second part of the task.

#3. Then to coincide with your written article I would like you to create a visual creation to go on our Illumination YouTube Channel. I will enclose a link below to my latest little visual creation.

Visual Analytics. Illumination YouTube Channel.

I have been studying the maze of analytics available for our visual content creations. I am going to be as open-minded…

The link above coincides with the visual creation from the article on Analytics from within our Illumination YouTube Channel.

Now we can have twice as much fun taking part in these prompts & challenges. Just to be crystal clear I am suggesting the written creations be placed in my small publication as I feel it would be great exposure because I am a small publication and as a writer/creator you will get that.

I am not being disingenuous towards Illumination. I am creating collaboration and cross-pollution. As we are linking the written stories and visual creations together after placing them in a separate area /digital platforms.

The Wide Open Space.

A Content Creators FreeStyle Space.

The link above is for my little publication. This is where your written submissions should go in the normal “3 Dots at the top” process.

You can submit your YouTube creations within your draft in an Mp4 file format or similar do not publish on YouTube because it creates a mass of barriers if I then try to upload & publish it to our Illumination Channel.
