Kiddkapps Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Premise is pretty basic right now. Along the lines of an anthology of voices from Catholic Youth/Young Adults living their faith in today's environment. Idea is that it will serve as an inspiration to fellow Catholics, an invitation to those that are interested in the Catholic faith and a response to those that are anti-Catholic. Wow you may say - that's a big task to undertake. It is - and it isn't. This is where you come in. Now, if my memory serves me correctly (and it fails from time to time because of age) there are many people on the Phorum who have great personal stories - many are great poets/writers. We're looking for stories (non-fiction preferred), poems, short essays - shoot drawings even that express you as a Catholic living in today's world. (eg: Being Catholic and Discerning your calling, Being Catholic dealing with the Church's teachings on contraception, How you developed your prayer life). The book itself will not be heavy on theology (this is not to say that it won't include theology of course, how can we avoid it?) But keeping in mind that it's for the average joe/jane to pick up and read, the stories should be personal, reflective and as authentic and possible. Here is your opportunity to share with the world your Faith, your growth and your relationship with Jesus through His Church. Interested but feel like you're not really a writer? Draw/paint/photograph something. Not talented in that department either? Fair enough, I'll need people for proofing and all that good stuff. The book is in its infancy and I want the writers to have as much input in the direction of the book as possible - where possible. So if you're interested, feel free to start writing and submit something. If you're stuck on a topic - email me at [email=publishing@phatmass.com]publishing@phatmass.com[/email] and I can send you a topic. Any questions? feel free to ask - no worries. Any suggestions? feel free to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven77 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 When is the deadline for submission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiddkapps Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 No real deadline.......but if i don't set up something it'll never get done. Let's say first round of submissions sould be in no later than may 1, 2009? that's a nice arbitrary number. There will of course be exceptions to the rule - but if i don't put something out there it'll get done after massmatics II (so...june 2018? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Would love to have you contribute! And yes this is like that class with that teacher who gave you an open "essay" that one year? You know that one........where you cried and whined because he/she wouldn't really give you a topic or real guidelines? WHAT DO YOU MEAN WRITE ABOUT ANYTHING?!!!!
