#StoryFriday is a fun, collaborative process that takes place every Friday on Twitter and is hosted by Writer’s Digest‘s Online Editor Brian A. Klems (@BrianKlems).
How it works:
We write the first line on Twitter, then someone adds next line on Twitter and so on. When you contribute a line to the story, place #storyfriday at the end of your tweet (i.e., He was leaving on a jet plane and never coming back. #storyfriday) so everyone can read it and follow along. To read past stories, visit the #StoryFriday Archive below.
Start time:
Around 9:30 a.m. Eastern time, Brian will post a new prompt through @WriterDigest with the #storyfriday hashtag.
Examples of a few #StoryFriday stories and how they turned out:
Can’t wait to play. Like a new grown-up version of ‘whispering down the lane.’ Maybe I’ll ask some of the vampires I blog for out at the venerable manor house in Chestnut Hill (like New York’s Riverdale, but in a 135 year old Philadelphia greensward) for ideas……Got to go boil a big pot of spaghetti. They don’t eat it. They just like the rich, warm, starchy aroma……Ah, the ‘life’ of a vampire ‘familiar’………
It’s a neat idea – but what about people who don’t have Twitter accounts? There should be a version that can be done on the Writers Digest website itself, through comments or some other way of including wannabe participants who don’t have Twitters
