Fifty Words

Well. As an ex of mine used to say, "That went over like a lead fart." More great comments in Thursday's post. But no answers to my meme questions in Saturday's post. And I blew 100 Blog Explosion and Blog Clicker credits yesterday, to boot.

Maybe I should be more direct.

I have an idea for a writing meme called Fifty Words. Here's the premise: Each week there’s a new writing prompt. You post your response to the prompt on your site, with a link back to the meme site. Then you send me fifty words from your post and I put them on the meme site with a link back to you.

What do you think? Is this something you would participate in, either as a writer or as a reader? Any questions as to how it would work? Do you see any problems? Do you have any suggestions?

Hello? Is this thing on?

Hi Gienna:

Sounds like a grand idea. I would be happy to participate.

As an already regular reader of your 'blog, I'm sure I'd check out your writing site frequently. However, as a pretty crappy writer (from a creative standpoint, anyway) it would have to be a pretty special writing prompt for me to think I had something worthy to submit. I'd love to try, though, and who knows... I might even improve a little. :-)

I think it's a good idea and you should try it. That's the only way to know whether people will participate. The trick will be coming up with stimulating prompts.

Well, now, that better!

I agree that the prompts would have to be enticing. More than just a word, but not overwhelming, either. Also, my aim would be to get people of all levels of experience to participate. That's how we learn, you know? And even the most expert-y expert doesn't know everything.

Want a sneak peak? Here's what I've got so far:
Fifty Words.
