Writing Circle: a quiet oasis

Begin. We are going on a journey. Who knows where it will lead? What will you take along? What will you leave behind.

Write it as a list; write it into a story; do a photo essay; make a collage. Consider including things which other people might not see, if they rifled through your luggage: experiences, memories, intentions. Tell us your destination (if you want to, if you know). What map (if any) will you use to chart your course? Will you strike out on your own, pack the newborn into a Snugli? Will you travel on foot, by car, by flying carpet or magic moped? Do you journey alone or shall we walk side-by-side?

Details

  1. This is an open, free and (I hope) fun project. It’s for you. Make it yours. (What I mean is: there’s enough stress in your life. Do Writing Circle your way.)
  2. I will post a new prompt about once a day. (putting that ‘about’ in there was absolutely liberating for me.)
  3. The Writing Circle is an ongoing project.

Glitter trail: Connecting with each other

  • Use the comments to leave us a link to your blog posts
  • Scan the comments and visit one another’s sites – and leave comments there
  • Tweet about this project – and about one another’s work – with the hashtag #WritingO
  • Tell your FB friends about this project – and about any of the #WritingO posts that move or inspire you

My heart to your heart

I hope that you’ll participate. I hope that you’ll support one another by reading and RT’ing one another’s posts. In this way, the writing circle will form and build.

A bow of gratitude

This project is completely inspired by Gwen Bell‘s Reverb project of years past. When Gwen bowed out of doing Reverb she graciously suggested that others keep the tradition alive in their own ways. See more Reverb2011 projects here.
