This Week From Under the Trellis
Every week, in "This Week From Under the Trellis," the garden gnomes will feature excellent content shared by members of the Speculative Fiction Writers of Steemit in our Discord channel. To be included, writers must write a story and publish it to their Steemit blog then share that post in the #spec-fic-promo room of our Discord channel. Each member in good standing will have one story featured. This week, we're featuring the following stories:
- Elerans Nation - Short Story (Part 4) by @stormlight24
- Writing Relay by the PowerHouseCreatives - Part 3 by @manoldonchev
- Electric Dreams Short Story Contest - @tygertyger by @cyemela
- Half day on the train. by @angelurquiola

This week's featured speculative fiction writer is a new member of our community. He is very active in the Finish the Story project by @bananafish, is a #teamserbia member and an @curie curator, and he posts a lot of serial fiction on his Steemit blog. Killer content!

Garden Gnome Events
What good does it do to have a garden if you don't play games in it? The garden gnomes love games. This week, we have some really cool games for Steemians, and anyone who'd like to become one. Look at all the ways we love to have fun!
- Exquisite Corpse 2019-1: Just two more days to get into the Exquisite Corpse 2019-1. In this writing relay, participants write a story together in succession. The first up will be the illustrious @blockurator, who will pass the baton to the next writer, who will hand it off to the next, and so on until all the players have played. Oh what fun 'twill be! Learn more right here.
- Steem Monsters Fan Fiction Contest: In this story writing contest, we ask participants to tell the story of a day in the life of a goblin shaman. We're not looking for run-of-the-mill tales here. Rather, we want spectacular stories that depict a specific Steem Monsters character in any context other than Steem Monsters. Get the details here.

I really hope this group takes off so many good people are part of it.
Thanks. We'd like to see it take off too. It would be nice to get a little help. This week has been a crazy week just to find the time to post. But we're on top of it and getting on topper. :-)
Oh. thanks for the feature once more!
Seems we are at the new month already, and I have to wear a writing hat all the time. Anybody knows anybody who makes writing hats?
The only writing hats we've seen lately are tin foil hats. We're sure you don't want one of those.
