Regarding the Day 4 activity…does it have to be realistic, i. e., something that would turn into a real meal (however unpalatable) should you follow the instructions? Because I know NOTHING about cooking or preparing ingredients—the reason I didn’t enter the site recipe contest a while back. Just seeing other users’ entries during that event proved how ignorant I am of preparing food of any sort. Heating up a microwave dinner is pretty much the extent of my “cooking” ability. I could totally make up something from my imagination, but there is no guarantee it would actually work if somebody were to try putting it together in real life. When I think about it, I don’t even know basic cooking terminology, so I’m not even sure how well I could make something up. I feel like if I use the wrong terminology or order of preparation, somebody will see through it and I’ll be disqualified. :/

tehuti88: Your recipe does not have to be realistic, so feel free to be as creative as you want! You can even use a character who is a bad cook and draw/write/etc about their experience trying to create a recipe. The recipe can be in standard measurements, or you can make up creative measurements (e.g. a fist full of river sand). :) I imagine people who try to create a recipe for real will be gathering sticks and yard weeds and using funny colored dyes, hahaha (though count me as impressed if someone manages to make something actually tasty to humans!). Have fun with it! :D

Myla, thank you for the answer, that’s a relief to know. In one of my stories once a character prepared something called “maple bark tea.” A reader told me she’d actually tried to make that after reading about it in my story. I’m like, I totally just made that up and never would’ve figured somebody would try it. O.o It sounds good in my imagination, but in reality I doubt maple bark would be very palatable at all. I’m just glad I didn’t write about, say, chokecherry bark tea (which would contain cyanide)! o_o;

Question, do the entries for the creative days have to be linear? I’m more inspired by the second prompt than the first, and would prefer to work on that one first. I just want to make sure it would be alright for me to submit Day 4 first and then go back and do Day 2 later.
