From Hobbit Day (September 22) until Halloween 2015, Signum University ran its first-ever creative writing contest, called the “Almost an Inkling” contest in honor of J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and their friends in the creative writing group of Oxfordians that met throughout the 1930s and 40s. Many of the pieces submitted share something of their sensibility and their vision. The result of this contest is a rich and varied body of short works of literature: immersive, captivating, speculative, funny, heartbreaking, breathtaking, and transcendent. Each is, in its own small-sized way, a work of compelling subcreation: the art of making a new secondary world out of pre-existing real-world and legendary elements in combination with astonishing imaginative creations. Perhaps Tolkien and Lewis would be proud. “The Soul of Wit” is available as an ebook here: https://olorisbookshop.com/collections/fiction/products/the-soul-of-wit #SignumUniversity #worldstorytellingday -- source link
