The Foot Farm would like to invite all writers to the first season of Story Survivors. We will be holding write-ins across America and choosing thirteen lucky scribes to move to the farm. Once here they will be required to move into bare housing on the Foot Farm and work along side our workers learning to harvest toes like pros. There will challenges to overcome.
Who writes the best first person short story where the main character is involved in a life threatening situation with a bottle of nail polish? Eliminations will be heart wrenching, judging will be brutal. Thirty days of writing until challengers’ brains are spewing smoke from their nostrils. Housed three to a room they will have only one dictionary between them. No PCs or Macs only a manual portable Smith-Corona typewriter, onion skin paper, four number two pencils and one pencil sharpener.
The judges will be brutal yet honest in their critic. There will be tears, emotionally charged arguments and retribution when plots are mysteriously leaked. A romance will develop between two of the challengers. One challenger plots against the other writers by stealing their onion skin paper. Somehow it will come down to the final four writers. . Whose story will be chosen? Whose adverbs will reign supreme? The Foot Farm will become wildly popular and workers will have trouble keeping up with the demand of visitors who want to visit. Get ready, writing samples are being submitted and the lucky thirteen are being contacted to bring their ideas to the Foot Farm. Our color for this first season will be “Scarlet Starlet
