So this is my first blogfest to celebrate the first magical number: the 50th follower.
I went to a 60x60 concert this week, which gave me the idea of this challenge. 60 composers each had 60 seconds to bring give a statement through music. Interesting, but hard on the ears and strenuous on the mind. All the acoustic and sonic beats. The presenter said this has traveled from music to video to drama and others.
So why don't we writers do it, too.
First, I thought we could each write 60 words in 60 seconds. Tried it, never had more than 47, though. So this is the new blogfest challenge:
To take part, you have to:
1. be a follower. (obvious one)
2. write a piece of 60 words that contains art in any form.
Now:
3. Check for I'm, don't, It's - they count as two words.
4. post it on your blog or comment it here (don't forget link to post)
5. When: Sunday 6th - Wednesday 16th of March
6. spread the word if you can (extra points)
The winner of the CSN voucher will be announced on the 20th.
If we can get 60 pieces together, I will post the best ones as our own 60x60 collection.
If anyone manages to write decent 60 words in 60 seconds, this will be honoured of course.
And now to the prize:
CSN Stores has amazing online stores, where you can find everything from great cookware to beautiful bedroom furniture to chic lighting pieces! So the winner gets a $20 (£25 or 15€) voucher.
For UK, Germany, USA and Canada.

The secret parts of people’s work
is often reined by an unseen wart
that shrouds all meaning.
I love art, don’t get me wrong,
it’s just so hard to hear the song
in every distinct form.
I vote to consolidate the different parts
in firing warts and rupturing the walls.
Loved the warts in your own 60 words :)

Ali - that's fine. Next time.
Christopher - good, then it's the perfect blogfest for you.
Arlee - oh thanks, that's great. I'll be interested in your story.
I've linked to this page as well, although I don't exactly have a plethora of readers. This was a lot of fun! Great idea, Nahno.

Inspiration
I look up at the deep blue sky,
covered in mountains till half,
I look inside the deep dark woods,
A Cow feeding it's Calf.
Then I take a drive out by the river,
What a clear reflection of a bullock cart!
Admit it, if you need inspiration,
Nature is the purest form of art.
56 words
Apfel, I think that is a great attempt and emotiv in the end.
This really is fun.
