the (second) community storytelling experiment

Here we go again!

A couple months ago, we did what I called a "Community Storytelling Experiment." I wrote the first three sentences of a story, and each subsequent writer wrote the next three sentences to the story.

The experiment was a great success - 63 contributions from nearly 30 writers over three days; the project was later noticed by the editor and marketing director of Atticus Books (an incredible independent publishing house!), and they edited the story and published it on their website.

Now, we are doing the project again!

weekend writing discussion: what is your best time of day for writing?

I am posting this at 5 in the morning...because I just finished writing. Which brings us to the topic of today's Friday Writing Discussion. ("What the h-e-l-l is the Friday Writing Discussion?" you ask. That's a fair question, considering this is the first of these we've had; it will be the first of many, I hope, as I plan to post a writing-related topic each Friday...something that we can discuss and explore in the Comments section.)

Today's topic: What time of day is your best time of day for writing? Why?
