The word ‘journey’ conjures up ideas of travel, which may be exciting, eventful, adventurous, disastrous, even life changing. It may suggest a metaphorical journey such as a transition, a life-changing experience leading to growth; it may be a journey through time and space or it could be inspired by your own journey through life.
The title lends itself to a myriad of interpretations and genres: adventure, fantasy, historical, science fiction, a fictional memoir … the possibilities are endless.
Focus on using vivid description as you create your characters, and close detail in the setting to bring your ideas to life.
Craft your story so that it is vivid and original; the judges will be looking for creativity, clarity, style and accuracy of language which will transport them with you on your journey.
We wish you bon voyage as you embark on this year’s challenge!!
