Same as Daisy Anne. I'm down for submitting my work to a future Written Tales chapbook anthology about The Environment.

I think it would be an interesting angle if the writer was asked to explain how or why they wrote their particular piece - the methodology or philosophy behind it.

Also the earth and nature theme sounds particular relevant at this juncture - currently there seems to be a movement of people seeking a sense of reconnection.

1. I like the idea of learning more about my fellow authors. I also think the public would enjoy learning about them, too.

2. Besides relationships, I also like the nature theme. Another I have been thinking about is that moment when we each first wake up....that moment between the dreamworld and the awake one.

I’m not sure about the questions... if they weren’t too intrusive, it might be interesting. I’d love to see a chapbook with an Earth/ Nature/ Kinship theme!

The way I see it, writings on The Environment are divided into 3 categories:

*Harm To Nature

*Beauty OF Nature

*Travels Through Nature

How has the natural world been harmed by human beings and industry?

What makes the natural world seem beautiful to us?

Do you remember your last visit deep into the natural world?

How each writer approaches those 3 concepts/questions is entirely up to them and their pen/computer.

Just saying--

How interesting! Yes to 1!

And I like all the themes suggested!

I'd love to know what makes us tick - and what makes us explode. That, I presume, falls under Number 3 as well, so it's hitting (not killing) two birds with one stone...

I think it would be interesting if the theme was about acceptance and being who your are.
