Description:

For this writing swap, each participant is going to have a role to play!

When you sign up, post below a number between 1 to 350. No two people can post the same number.

Why? Most books are about 350 pages. From whatever novel I am reading when the swap sign-ups close, I will choose a word from each page posted and that will determine the word list for our random short stories.

The more people who participate, the longer the word list will be!

The number of people in the swap when sign-ups close will also determine what word I select from each page. For example, if there are 20 people in the swap, I will select the 20th word on every page listed in the comments section. If 34 people participate, I will select the 34th word on every page, etc.

I'll post the word list here in the comment area when partners are assigned.

You will write your short story being sure to use each word on our random list, and then send a copy to two partners.

Let's have some fun in this random word short story challenge swap!

Greetings all: I've sent PMs to three people. One person who posted a number but hadn't joined the swap, and two in the swap who hadn't posted numbers.

ladydy5 09/25/2011 #

I guess they are not interested. You may have to ban those who do not put a number up or are you going to wait a week. I think the rest of us are ready.

Greetings again all:

I didn't hear from the three over the weekend. Here's our word list:

  • struggled

  • skills

  • sat

  • give

  • focus

  • I've

  • decided

  • Laurel

  • fairly

  • precision

  • gorgeous

  • viable

I'm reading "Savor the Moment" by Nora Roberts. I've included two random words from the book to compensate for the people who didn't post a page. And I've added three days to the send by deadline for the swap.

Happy writing to all!
