Collaborative Writing

Do you prefer to write on your own , or do you toy with the idea of writing collaboratively? WdC has you covered!


Did you ever play those games in school where you write a sentence, then pass it to the person next to you, and then they write a sentence, and so on around the room until you have a full story? (Well, it was usually a rather ridiculous assembly of sentences, if we were perfectly honest, but occasionally a story was created!)

Writing.Com has something similar available, though each entry can be longer than a sentence - which will help the story make much more sense. In fact, you can create your own rules to be whatever you want them to be to make the stories work the way you want it to, any genre you want, and invite any of your friends that you'd like. These are a bit different from Interactive Stories, because you have to ask to be added to a campfire, if you are interested in participating. You can't join just because you'd like to. The Creative Campfire owner has a bit more control than an Interactive Story, as far as participants go.

Creative Campfire moderators can even create a minimum or maximum character requirement in the entry, so they can prevent additions that are too short or too long for what they are looking for.

If you've never created or participated in one, I encourage you to consider!

I'm on my tenth give it 100 blog, but I just choose what my blog is going to be and I do 100 in 100 days. The blog I did before this one is for a book of poetry, but I'm fighting with the printer to print.

It sounds like you have a system that is working for you! That's just great. I think changing topics every 100 days is an interesting idea - keeps it fresh both for you and for your readers ~ S*Heart*J

I like this blog experience you had. It seems that blog enriches someone intellectually.I think blog needs many interactions so that a blog becomes live. Good issue indeed!.

I am glad you enjoyed it! ~ S*Heart*J

The first blogs of which I became aware were political. One professor with a daily blog even had a tip jar because he spent a lot of time preparing a cleanly written essay five days a week. It only got him a few dollars a week, but it kept up his website.
Of course, there is the famous Julie & Julia cookie website, where she prepared a recipe from Julia Child everyday and wrote about the experience and results. I started one on genealogy on Google, but ran out of helpful, non-repetitive info since I had not majored in it (you need a Mormon college for that).
On WDC I've noticed poetry, challenges, and personal data. I wanted to make mine an opinion on everything blog, but degenerate into the journal stuff too frequently. Some even have a blog just on writing.

The Julie & Julia blog is quite famous, and there was even a movie made about the whole thing - I remember that one! So yes, these have been around a long while. I'm glad you've found your niche, even if it wasn't what you expected it to be. ~S*Heart*J

This month's question: If you were going to start a new Campfire Creative topic, what would it be?
