200 words every 2 days for 2 weeks
Can we create a compelling short story together?
To begin 1st June 2008!
I thought I’d like to begin a new short story. An interactive story.
Would you like to play?
The idea is this:
On 1st June 2008, I will post 200 words, the opening to a brand new experimental short story, which I hope that you will continue by providing the next 200 words. After 2 days (3rd June), I’ll read the responses and choose just one to carry on from with my next 200 words. Then it will be your turn again. And so on.
At the end of 2 weeks, we should have written approximately 2, 800 words between us. And who knows where we’ll have ended up.
Perhaps we’ll have a complete, and even compelling, short story.
Perhaps we’ll have something else entirely . . .
However it emerges, I promise to publish the whole, joined together piece on my website http://www.megantaylor.info/
Can't wait to see where this will take me. I hope that you'll come too.

Thanks for the incite, Caroline.
umm... invite, too.
Thank you so much for joining in! (and thank you too, wonderful Caroline)I can't wait to get started . . .
Megan - I hope I'm meant to be here? Sweet Caroline invited me but I'm a dyslexic, novice writer so it could all be an embarrassing mistake on my part.
It's such a cool idea anyway.
Fiona - it's great that you're here, thank you so much for joining in!!!
Sounds curious, sort of writing ping pong!
jon m - yes! It's pinging and it's ponging, and the posts are all so amazing, I don't know how I'm going to decide where to bounce next!
