Rule Of Three...

The Rule of Three is a month-long fiction blogfest,   A New Challenge To Stretch Your Writer's Muscles...






The Rule of Three at Renaissance

By us, I mean Fighter writer, J.C. Martin, Flash Fiction Author Lisa Vooght, and Storyteller and author, Stuart Nager.We're excited to present a blogfest tailor-made for fiction writers to showcase their skills and receive comments on their work, and we hope you enjoy taking part in it as much as we enjoyed creating it!
So without further ado, announcing the Rule of Three Blogfest!
 A. What is the Rule of Three?
The "rule of three" is a principle in writing that suggests that things that come in threes are inherently funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers of things. The reader/audience of this form of text is also more likely to consume information if it is written in groups of threes. A series of three is often used to create a progression in which the tension is created, then built up, built up even more, and finally released. –Wikipedia
This is the information I've copied from Damyanti's Blog Fest Page at Amloki.  If you're interested, be sure to click the link for more information!  I love that the hosts have given participants so much time to get a story started!  I'm sure there will be some great reading as we get started...

  1. Am I understanding this correctly? Sign up soon, and the first prompt is posted in 2 weeks? Then every week after that?!

    Remember yesterday when I said about crippling fear? Just the thought of doing something like this is making my pulse faster.

  4. Right, right. I'll leave it at that. Since you are so worked up about doing a challenge...you'll probably be fantastic at it. That's usually the way these things work. ~ Nadja

  5. Thanks, Stuart, for stopping by with the info.

    I've been plotting away, and I think I've got my three characters pretty well nailed down. I've got a basic plot and storyline mapped out, and I've employed the map for Renaissance...which, by the way, I loved! (I'm a map nerd...fyi) It's just about time to get writing. See you on 05 October! ~ Nadja
