Nanowrimo is upon us again (www.nanowrimo.org) and for those of us trying to get to 50,000 words in 30 days inspiration can be a little thin on the ground. For this swap, you'll need to hit your Dollar Store and sharpen your sharpie.. okay don't do that bit. You'll get ink all over yourself. Pick up a deck of playing cards, and then write on every card a line or two to poke the creativity of your partner. Things like "But that was a lie", "She'd never really met him" "There had never been a cow there". We're aiming for random lines that can help with that huge word count. It's padding people, and we're all gunna do it. Lines that push a story along, add to a story line.. look you're a writer, I'm sure you can think of some! Then, in november, you'll have a deck of cards you DIDN'T write. Staring at your screen/notepad and out of ideas you can pick up your deck and draw a card. Then if you wanna, take the idea and run with it! This swap is INTERNATIONAL and open to all writers, not just Nano Nuts Boring Nitty Gritty Bits: ~ This swap is open to Newbies with a full profile, and rated swappers with a rating of 4.5 plus, no no-sends in the past 3 months. If you're lower rated due to an unfair rating, please join then PM me. I still reserve the right to ban you, but I might not and it's worth a shot, right? ~ Please keep your lines G rated, and vague. G rated because if someone is writing an X rated story, they can twist the words anyway and vague because someone writing an historical drama set in Celtic times can't use "The Alien fleet was arriving" unless they're writing a super interesting story! ~ This swap is not tied to profile, so you can get started whenever. Man this is a long description. I'm getting tired. Let me know if I left anything out, I probably did. |
