writing chat thingy returns!
It's that time again! I am bored, I have writer's block, so it's time for another Writing Chat Thingy. For those new here or who just weren't interested in the past, I occasionally host a sort of writing exercise here on my journal. When I first started, I referred to it as "a writing chat thingy" and the name stuck.
Essentially, the participants meet in a chat room (we've used AIM in the past, but if anyone has other ideas, I'm all ears), I throw out a prompt, and set a timer for 15 minutes. The participants then have fifteen minutes to respond to the prompt in the comments of a particular LJ post.
It generally lasts a couple of hours, but people can come and go as they wish. There's no obligation to play every round or to play at all, even, if none of the prompts are particularly inspiring. In between prompts, there's some socializing and chatting and stuff, as well.
Here is a random chat post, if you're interested in checking out the format, and you can always wade through the "writing: chats" tag.
If this all sounds like fun, fill out the poll to help me schedule the next one!
Poll writing chat thingy strikes again!
