Tracy from VerboCity says: Let’s Write a Story!
Blogosphere - Let’s Write A Story!
It’s been a long week, so let’s do something fun…
Let’s all write a story!
- I’ll post with the first line.
- On your blog, post the rules and the first line, and then add your line.
- Come back and leave your line in the comments of the previous line, with a link to your blog.
So… if I was playing, I would see on someone else’s blog post the story so far (perhaps with each line linking to the individual author’s post?) Then, I would post the previous story and a new line on my blog, and link back to the previous blog post in the comments to let that person know that I’d ‘grown’ the story from their line.
As everybody enters the story at different points, we’ll all have vastly different stories by the end, even if they’ve all started with the same line.
Does this sound incredibly confusing?
Think of it like “I’m going on a picnic,” where the picnic list grows by just one item with each person that goes on. But, instead of picnicing, we’re bringing the next line of a story. Or perhaps think of it as a “Choose Your Own Adventure,” but over the blogosphere.
Ready? Here’s the first line from Tracy’s Blog along with my next line:
“It could be worse,” my mother said, as she handed me the newspaper.
“And how exactly do you figure, Mother?” I sighed, casting a disdainful eye over the Page 9 headline that read “Up for Grabs: Bouquet Toss Scufflers Land in Court”.
