CALL for ENTRIES: Interpretation of Fading Light

PARING in PAIRS

I must confess that I do less cooking that my daily ramblings might indicate. My dearest husband does much of the cooking in our household, and he does it wonderfully. But the times I truly enjoy are the times we spend in the kitchen together. And, as I get older, I have found that artistic collaboration keeps me motivated as well. This call offers you an opportunity to produce work while still being someone else’s muse. Great idea…

Check out this Call for Entries from Open to Interpretation‘s juried book competition Fading Light. Have your work become the artistic inspiration for a literary masterpiece today! Keeping reading for details…
