A writing blog turned collaborate writing project. I look inward for inspiration, but I want to look outward into the lives of people in the community around me. All future postings will be based off of submissions from different people, whose lives one way or another are intertwined.

inspirations

Hi everyone,

I need to get back into creative writing on a consistent basis, but I don't have much imagination right now. It's caused a major block in my writing process. What I want to do is establish a collaborative writing project and invite friends, family and acquaintances to join in.

Here are several things you can do. You can pick one or any:

1) Offer up a photograph. It cannot just be a picture of a flower; something needs to be going on.

2) Had a vivid dream lately? Share it with me. Write me a paragraph about the dream.

3) What is going on in your life? Any interesting events? Quirky mishaps. Write me a few paragraphs about it.

4)What memories have been on your mind? Share briefly about it. 1-3 paragraphs.

I do not know what I will do with these prompts...a poem, short story, one-act play could come out of it. Even a lot more, if it leads there. I can change names and specific details, and of course my stories will bounce off of yours. It could take on new shapes and forms. But if I use your prompt, I will certainly credit you in future blog postings or even publishings.
