Thoughts on the Telephone progress

In the time between being accepted to participate and seeing the work I would be translating I became very nervous that I would "fail" or be uninspired by the work I received. However, when I looked at the work I would be translating for the first time I couldn't believe my luck. I'd had a story festering in me for some weeks and that single image not only forced it out of me, but guided the writing and kept it focused and specific. Overall I thought it was a wonderful challenge and the sort of collaborative work that I'd love to do more of.
