Some Paint For Your Writer's Canvas - #REN3 Video Trailer

Ahem. If you are sick to death of hearing about the blogfest and have no interest in it whatsoever (but are far too polite so say so), here's a story from the A to Z challenge you might not have read. "Data"
(and if you've read everything I've ever written, I love you, thank you, and you may go now.)
The Renaissance: Rule Of Three Blogfest will be here before we know it. There's still time to sign up by Oct.3. As I write this, we have 50 participants rarin' to go. Fellow host Stuart Nager has created a second video trailer for us to enjoy - and perhaps get those ideas flowing. (For new followers, I have also included the first trailer Stuart created a few weeks ago.)







If you're a writer - or ever thought about writing - we encourage you to give this a try. The blogfest runs for 4 weeks. We have created a shared world; you create your own story. Dream up three characters; one of which is introduced by you each week in a 500-600 (or less if you wish) word post or "chapter";  the fourth week, you tie them all together into a conclusion.

Any genre and any time period of your choice. A colony on Mars in the year 3040? A mining town in Nevada in the 1800's? Europe after a post-apocalyptic event? Romance? Horror? Magical realism? Historical fiction? Steampunk? Choose your poison. We've given you a setting, we'll give you broad prompts to choose from, and Stuart has chosen images for his trailers which might give you some ideas. We've given you a bit of paint and some brushes for your canvas;  the rest is up to you. And, by the way, along with bragging rights there's also the chance to win some gift cards, interviews, and ebooks. So what are you waiting for?

The post with complete information and the linky sign-up is here.
