The Color of Nothing Magazine

Enter short story, poetry, play, screenplay, etc.

It’s our job to find the lines and color outside of them. Put paint on the canvas. Chords on the strings. Words on the page. We sing from our lips because there are songs to be sung. We mold clay to our whims because we can envision what it must be. Not because we want to. But because we have to. It’s our nature and our purpose. There’s no other choice: we breathe, and we create. The color of nothing is boundless with opportunity. Splash it however you choose.

Guidelines: None.

Write a story, craft a poem, draft a play, tell a joke…nothing is off limits. If it’s engaging, it deserves a place on the roster.
