Went back, did some additional editing to clean up some messy bits. I'm hosting the image file here, so the old link will still work. For First Friday Art Walk purposes, the links will point here.

HERE WE GO! It's ON!!
OK, HERE WE GO!
The time: 7:14 AM, August 27th, 2012 ( A year from tomorrow)
The Location: The statue in Longfellow Square
The "Prop": A $50.00 "Portland Riverboat Gambling Cruises" Poker chip...with a bullet hole in it.
A refresher: All of the elements above have to be SOMEWHERE in the story. It can be anything from a news story to a romance, a mystery, suspense...whatever. FLEX those creative muscles! (Try to get stuff back to me by the 6pm Deadline tomorrow...I'm giving the extra hour for folks to get organized, get supper ready, home from work, etc. Life is busy during the Maine summer.)
ENJOY!!!!!

Initial Entry
The 24 Hour book project for Portland is not a new one. Based on the popular "48 Hour Film" series, local writers who have volunteered to have their creativity challenged will be given a location for the story, a time of day, and a "prop." All must be in the story somewhere as a common unifying link.
To date, we've had several people jump in, and now the planning bit begins. We have had a "space" graciously provided by the Maine Charitable Mechanics Association Library, a good place to work quietly without raucus behavior (And I mean it, don't make me get out the hose.)
The Date: I'm aiming for August 26th (a Friday.) We can meet in the afternoon to get started, then all meet up the next day for a "turn-in" party. That will give me a week to get the FINAL bit done. I expect to be able to get all the docs flowed into a single "book" that night, but might need a few extra days looking around at the ceiling, getting some good photos, etc. Perhaps even editing.
Then, by the FOLLOWING Friday, I'll have the "bookmarks" printed up. They will look like standard bookmarks, except with a QR Code and a bit.ly address so anyone with an e-reader, iPhone, smartphone, laptop, palmtop, iBook etc can just GO and get the book. They'll be posted everywhere for the "First Friday" art walk.
Sounds Good?
