Starting from 1920 and all the way to the 31st of December 1929, was a period of prosperity not only for the economy but also for the art of words, for literature, with a lot of today’s literary masterpieces being opened for the first time during this decade. Among the authors that published their works during this period is James Joyce. His novel, “Ulysses” [1922] is considered to be one of...

For the literature section of our Gothic issue we have selected the works of Jim Roberts as well as three of the works of the so well regarded Edgar Allen Poe. In literature the Gothic genre makes its presence sensed through a pleasing sort of terror, sometimes through an extension of the romantic genre or the horror genre. As a sole standing genre, it has been created by Horace Walpole, an English...

This week’s theme for the Literature Challenge is “War”. As always the power of words will prove to be limitless and it will be at the top of your fingertips. You can describe a scene either pre-war, post-war, even during a war, even with yourself playing a part in the certain war. You can do anything. Remember you can refer to our theme in either literal or figurative meaning! Best...

The Literature Challenge of this week has for a theme the Sea! Use the power of words to bring the sea’s wet waves on paper [without actually pouring water on a sheet of paper that is]. As tomorrow would have been the 110th birthday of Ernest Hemingway as both an early tribute and acknowledgment  of his amazing legacy in the literary domain, we have chosen one of his last major writings for...

As some of our older readers might remember, in the first version of MonDaily we said that words give us to supreme power of creating anything. Now we are repeating that. Through words, you can achieve anything by creating your own world in which you can create anything and everything. With this being said, we will leave you to create your own world full of light, as that is this week’s theme...

Until this theme, the Literature Challenge was about the easiest of our challenges. This week, that might have changed a bit.  Children are a lot more complex than people in general [weird?] so you really need to have a great attention to details whenever writing about a child. What we had in mind and are expecting from you this week is quite an interesting experiment, both for us and for you: give...

For the Literature section of this week’s issue we are featuring the works of some young writers that have chosen to write about people, either in general, either about some particular people in their lives. People Watching by Frankie Drew Dyed hair, strained eyes, bony ankles, a top that shows a surprisingly toned stomach for someone who must be at least sixty. Divorced, probably. Using the...

Can you even imagine the possibilities you have here? Oh yes, the theme is Nature! I believe we have all written at least one descriptive short story of a landscape or a certain place in our childhood, either for ourselves either for school. We ask you to do that again! Consider it an excercise for yourself. Try to remember the place you have describe when you were younger and now describe it again....

Literature is one of the most complex forms of art known to man and yet one of the most tangible to so many of us. As you might already know, you too create MonDaily and that goes for the literature section as well! Theme for this week’s literature section you ask? Well, again, the theme is Black. How can you write something that says and gives the feeling of black? I am sure your imagination...

André Breton was a French writer, poet, and surrealist theorist, and is best known as the main founder of Surrealism. His writings include the Surrealist Manifesto of 1924, in which he defined surrealism as pure psychic automatism. So strong is the belief in life, in what is most fragile in life – real life, I mean – that in the end this belief is lost. Man, that inveterate dreamer, daily...
