Friday Speak Out!: Anthology Success <b>Recipe</b>, Guest Post by Linda <b>...</b>

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 01:30 AM PST

In everything you do, even the most mundane tasks, without even thinking about it, you have a strategy, a plan, a recipe for success.

Occasionally I grocery shop without a list, and I have to return to the store. Whether I'm shopping or writing, when I don't have a plan, I have to repeat my actions; then my work piles up and I feel overwhelmed.

While some writers can toss a few words onto the page and write a great story without effort, most of us need a formula. I have been published in 20 Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Each of my stories has had universal appeal, a beginning, middle and end, a uniqueness. Sometimes it was my message and other times my adventure that made my story stand out from the others. With each story, I followed a recipe and then flavored it my way.

Imagine you're scoping out Facebook and come across a recipe for the perfect cake. You would like to enter it in a contest for an upcoming church bazaar. You gather necessary tools and ingredients, mix, bake and create a masterpiece. The only problem is, you and half the population in your church discover the same recipe, bake the cake in a foil 9x13 pan and frost it with chocolate icing. Lined up on a countertop, you can't distinguish yours from the others. What about your masterpiece will earn you the blue ribbon prize? Is it how you decorated it? The elegant presentation? What will be the attention grabber?

Anthology competition is tough. Chicken Soup for the Soul receives a 1,000 or more submissions for each title call out. Editors whittle selections down to 200 and then select 101 stories for publication. Following writer's guidelines is similar to following a cake recipe.

• Choose the preparation tools and technique that works for you. Do you free-write and then edit, or edit as you go? Always edit one last time.

• Every cook adds their own touch, something special which distinguishes their product from the rest. Season carefully. Adding a shot of bourbon (expletives) or a dash of cayenne pepper (wisecracks) to a Chicken Soup story won't spice it up. Your recipe will flop. However, tossing in metaphor, blending humor, sprinkling inspiration will catch an editor's attention.

• Your title must have immediate appeal. Chicken Strips or Chicken Fingers, which recipe heading is more creative and interesting?

• Sometimes like similar cakes at a bazaar, there are too many of the same type of story submissions. Therefore, not every one of them gets chosen. Rejection has little to do with you and your product, and more to do with market needs.

• Just as the last bite of your cake should be as tasty as the first morsel, your story ending should be as delectable as your opening. Leave the reader with a wonderful taste, a powerful, uplifting message, a desire to try to replicate your success. Write from your heart.

Shivery Snow Paint <b>Recipe</b> ~ Growing A Jeweled Rose

Posted: 15 Nov 2013 12:05 AM PST

We love snow paint and make it several times each Winter.  It is such an easy paint recipe and can be used for arts, crafts, and sensory play.  Today, we are sharing a simple way to make your snow paint a bit more like REAL snow.

Shivery Snow Paint

Shivery snow paint- kids can create puffy snowmen and other works of art that are COLD to the touch!
Pin It

Follow Growing a Jeweled Rose on Pinterest and Facebook for tons more kids activities.

Shivery Snow Paint Recipe

  • Shaving Cream
  • White school glue
  • Peppermint extract
  • Iridescent glitter or buffalo snow

You will want to begin by popping your shaving cream and glue in the refrigerator.  We left ours there overnight and then made our paint the next morning.  We left our glue out on the counter for about ten minutes just to get it flowing.  

Mix equal parts of glue and shaving cream in a bowl.  This is a rough estimate; we always free pour.  Sprinkle in glitter or buffalo snow.  We used a lot just because my girls are glitter happy and love sparkle.  Add a few drops of peppermint extract and mix.  Then finish the paint off with more glitter.


So pretty and so FUN!  Kids can use this paint to create cute Winter art

Once dry their creations will be puffy to the touch;  FUN!  This is also a great sensory snow.  Give little ones a few scoopers and other gadgets, and they will have a blast mucking around in their shivery, oh so puffy, snow.

We share fun kids activities several times a week!
