This week it’s John Gardner, author of The Art of Fiction. http://blog.iwritefiction.co.uk/blog/unorthodox-fiction-advice-john-gardner
The second in our blog series focusing on unorthodox advice for writers, this week comes from Edith Wharton (The Age of Innocence, Ethan Frome) Find out about her (slightly old-fashioned) thoughts on fiction here: http://blog.iwritefiction.co.uk/blog/unorthodox-fiction-advice-edith-wharton
New Challenge: Dark and Stormy Night
It was a dark and stormy night— one of the most famous opening lines. The elements can be harnessed for their literary power in books. Can you conjure up a life-changing storm? It could anything from a natural disaster to a consequence of humanity’s actions. Try to use nothing but language; onomatopoeia, alliteration, phonemes, to give us a window into your force of nature.

New Challenge
La Vie en Rose.
In an age where lives and relationships can be distorted by the filter of the internet, films and Mills and Boone, you could be forgiven for struggling to know what a real romance looks like. So we’d like to look for both— can you imagine a couple who are blissfully happy on the surface, while showing us the cracks? Or vice versa, a relationship that could be assumed to be a disaster, that turns out to be divine. Love is always the answer. But can you show it to us through the eyes of a lover; slightly out of focus? Click here to have a go! http://www.iwritefiction.co.uk/hothouse/challenges/la-vie-en-rose/
We’ve got the first in a series of blogs focusing on Unorthodox Fiction! This week, it’s Christopher Brooker, the man who came up with the theory of seven universal plots.

What’s Holding you Back from Success as a Writer?
Click here for a brand new blog post! Maybe you’ve been working tirelessly on your latest novel or story, but are feeling completely at a loss as to where to turn next? We’ve got the answers.
New Challenge!
We’ve got a brilliant new writing prompt for you.This week’s theme is Young and Old. Age is just a number but there is some wisdom you only learn over time and some principles you only keep when you’re young. Can you come up with a scene whereby an older character interacts with a much younger one? They may unexpectedly bond over a shared hobby or perhaps they’ll have a blazing row. You could highlight their differences or find their common ground. http://www.iwritefiction.co.uk/hothouse/challenges/young-and-old/
Last Sentence Tag Game
We’ve been tagged by @hklunethewriter! The rules are simple: post the last sentence you wrote and tag as many people, as there are words in the sentence (if you can manage). (there’s quite a few of us at iWriteFiction so we’ve picked the last line written by one of our team for a playscript!) But I never told you to leave. Even though they should have done, nobody told you to leave. 18 words- 18 people. @words-to-accomplish-something @summerkiska @charvaughn-writes @pen-and-sword-writing @doctor-q @bethanywritesbooks @quillwritten @bellepaige @thenovel @aetherscribe @lisa-writing @ellen-reincarnated1967 @that-hoopy-frood @authorncthomas @amlalonde @thewritehag @electricliterature @burningemberjade

New Challenge: Voyeurism
Writers thrive on being voyeurs of other people’s lives. Have you ever taken a stealthy glance into someone’s window from the street? Have you ever gone through a stranger’s bathroom cabinet?
