RoM 03-1: "A Legacy of Smoke and Shadow"

We're going down the river... for a third time!

PattiKen, as the winner of last year's recruiting drive, has earned the envious honor of picking the opening Muse for the River of Mnemosyne, thereby leaving the rest of us to jump into the water behind her (anyone else notice that sudden rush of warm water?).

And the first Muse is:

"A LEGACY OF SMOKE AND SHADOW"

Don't forget that this is only the first part (hopefully) of your overall entry, and there will not be a vote until all the Muses are in or we run out of time.

And if you have no idea what's going on, check out the rules for February's challenge here: 3rd Annual "River of Mnemosyne" Challenge.



*Don't forget to submit a Muse if you are one of the first nine to link an entry. If you do not, your link will be deleted and you will have to re-link. Email the admins (all of 'em) with your Muse!

As always, don't sign up until you've posted the entry on your site and link that entry directly (not your blog home page). In the meantime, leave a comment and let us know you're game!

Post as soon as you're ready, and the Muses will start sailing in.

Good luck! And enjoy!

RoM01-9: "Infinite Possibility"

She Writes has submitted her second Muse, and gets the honor of picking Muse #9!

"INFINITE POSSIBILITY"

This will be the theme for the ninth and final chapter/entry of your story/creative expression. If you forget any rules, refresh yourself here: 1st Annual "River of Mnemosyne" Challenge.

REMINDERS:

• Don't link until you've posted the entry on your site and link that entry directly (not your blog home page)
• Keep in mind that if you want to participate in the voting process, you MUST submit an entry for at least the first Muse. This means that even in you only submit a first Muse, you are eligible to vote on the entire competition.

***the admins have realized that the possibility to combine Muses into one post exists: this is NOT allowed. Well, it is allowed (write/create what you want, after all), but it will only count as one chapter for purposes of entry and of voting.

Also remember that 10thDoM operates on GMT time, so if you plan on burning midnight oil in order to post at the last possible minute, don't forget to adjust your internal clock!

The Nine Muses:

1. 1. "A Random Memory"
2. 2. "Fear of Writing"
3. 3. "An Ambiance of Technology"
4. 4. "Omitting Your Mistakes" 
5. 5. "Of Feral Mind and Carnal Heart"
6. 6. "Earnest Mockery" 
7. 7. "Shattered Mirrors"
8. 8. "This Business of Jupiter"
9. 9. "Infinite Possibility"

A congrats to all of the Muse-pickers (seducers?): Jelly ("Fear of Writing"), JeffScape ("An Ambiance of Technology" and "Of Feral Mind and Carnal Heart"), Tom ("Omitting Your Mistakes" and "This Business of Jupiter"), She Writes ("Earnest Mockery" and "Infinite Possibility"), and hvninhell ("Shattered Mirrors").
