Fun And Games

by JM

At times, the writer’s existence can be a lonely one. That’s why we have writing forums, writer’s conferences, write offs, and much more.

A friend of mine - Aspiring Romance Writer - is holding a fun activity over on her blog called The Writer’s Game or 101 Lines. She’s already posted up the first line of a story which will have a plot completely determined by those who decide to stop by and comment.

I think this is a great way to not only stretch your creative muscles but to get to know other writers as well. Her blog accepts anonymous comments, so don’t worry if you don’t have a Blogger account.

    Thanks for mentioning this. It has been fun so far to see the lines coming in.

    My absolute pleasure. I’ll promote almost any group writing project anyone is holding if they just let me know. :)
