Description:

I remember as a child writing a shared story with my friends. I would start a story and write a couple of paragraphs, and then one friend would add another couple paragraphs, and then the next and so on. The outcomes would be hilarious.

For the first swap, pick up a small journal (about 4x6ish) from the store (preferably one where the pages are well-secure). Write the first page of your story. Include pictures and illustrations if you feel so inclined, but limit your entry to no more than two pages. In the back cover of the book write your address so that when the story is complete it will be returned to you. We will then send it to our partner. They will write the next page of the story, and hold onto it until Shared Story Journal #2.

Since these are small journals that will be fairly light, I will open this up to international. I will allow unrated newbies. Ratings of 4.75 or above with no recent 1s or 3s in the last 6 months.

Please contact me with any questions. I can't wait to see how silly we can get.

I totally had to sign up for this! I used to love passing notebooks with stories in them when I was younger! I help run a site for it now and its soo much fun to write stories together!

@Kristykirkpatrick what is the site? That is so cool. I love writing them, it has been so long. Figured this might help me get my creative juices flowing :)

mamasmemoirs.com Ignore the money asking part. Everything you see is free to use onsite including over 50 shared stories. The pay part is for those who need writing coaches, editors, publishing prep help and the like and for more developed stories.

Any chance for europian version? It's one thing to make it light, but still it is to be sent many times...

I have amended the send date to give everyone a little bit more time. :)
