Round-robin writing
Greetings all you creative writers (even if you don't think you are)!We are taking on Mrs. V's challenge to write 100+ words per day during the month of "Rocktober," as well as submitting some of our best work for the local podcast for the National Day of Writing, Oct. 20.Our round-robin writing project will work something like this:Write as much as you can in 15-20 mins. at a time (100 words is approximately a little over a half page). Post your writing here for the next author to continue with it. If you are the next author, read what's already been written, then add to the story. You want each page to make some sort of sense, but it's an exercise in creativity. Let your writing take you and go with the flow. If you have a great idea for the direction the story should take, go with it! Some possibilities to consider are:
· things you like
· places to travel
· "thoughts of a sundrenched elsewhere"
· highs and lows
· young (or old) fools
· What ticks you off?
As you can see, the possibilities are endless. Please save your work in a Word document as well as posting here. I can't wait to see where our words take us. Happy writing! Just so you know, I just penned 227 words!
