This was such a great idea (actually a suggestion for a blog topic) that I had to share it. Curiously, I just encountered the Hemingway Challenge yesterday, and this is right along those lines.

The challenge? Describe yourself, your favorite character (from your book), and your book, each in 5 words or less.

The format will be:

Me: description
Name of favorite character: description
Name of book: description

If you have more than one book, just add it below.

I'll get it started.

Me: A sinner saved by grace.
Garaden: Thoughtful, unassuming, and humble lad.
The Star Medallion: Darkness threatens, one must save.

My book is the first of a series that overlaps, so it might be redundant to do each one individually.

Good luck and have fun! :D ;)
