Word Game & Prizes!

Do you enjoy word games? I’ve found that people who enjoy reading and writing tend to also enjoy word games. I usually have a crossword puzzle going at the breakfast table, and I enjoy playing Words with Friends, Wordle, and Word Warp on my phone.

Since I was having a little trouble coming up with a blog topic this week, I thought, why not play a game?

I love seeing people get creative with words, so let’s play a game that involves words that tell a story. My latest series, Texas Ever After, focuses on western fairy tale retellings, so let’s play with fairy tales.


ACROSTICS

Make a sentence using the letters from FAIRY TALE to start each word in order. The words you select should flow together in a sentence that makes sense when read together. I’ve give you an example in the graphic below.


Enter your acrostic in the comments for a chance to win an autographed copy of one of my reimagined fairy tales.


PRIZES

I will pick my two favorite acrostics from the comments, and each winner will receive their choice of either If the Boot Fits or Cloaked in Beauty.

Winners will be drawn on Friday, March 7 and announced in the comments of this post.
