WordXWord Stories Guidelines

• Story must be true and first person.
• You do not have to use the theme as an actual word or phrase in your story, but the story should relate to theme in some way.
• 5 minute time limit
• You must tell your story (not read it!) without notes or props.
• This should be obvious, but in case it's not, we are looking for STORIES, this is not an open mic for top-of-the-head musing, essays, or rambling lectures, etc.

How-to*

Conjure, channel, craft and compose your story. Practice so you can remember it without the benefits of paper. Then practice it so you can keep it down to five minutes. Tell it to your plants but know that they are a tough audience. Revise. Rework. Curse your plants for not believing in you! Revamp. Finesse. Shave off another two minutes. Try again. Voila! Forgive your plants. Indeed, they helped you see the light.
