JU Writers Club

Who wants to join?

Published on November 5, 2006 By dynamaso In Writing

A while ago, Kelly had a blog where she put up a picture and asked the rest of us to see what sort of story we could come up with based on it. The exercise was really good, with some really inventive responses. Check out Kelly's blog here: Link

I’d like to take this idea one step further. I’d like to form a JU Writers Club. The idea would be each member of the club suggests or provides a topic, scene or picture and we all write something based the suggestion.

We can then compare notes, offer advice and generally trade off ideas on how to write better. This won’t be a competition, with prizes for the best nor will there be any time limits. I think it could be a lot of fun and provide some of us with inspiration and impetus to continue writing.

Who knows, it might even lead to those involved actually having some fun.

Great idea Maso! Count me in!

Suggestions:
a picture, a song, a quote -some times the tinest thing is a trigger. Now throw something out there...

Shovel,

Cool... I will wait to see how many more I get before I suggest something. I like the idea of a song lyric as inspiration...

Woo Hoo..I'm in.

I read somewhere if you want to learn something...teach it..

Thanks for the link. A lot of people had fun with it. I was surprised.

I think it adds inspiration for us who procrastinate so much to get involved.
Great idea!
Then we can do a self published book of all the JU stuff!

Thanks. If this book were available, I would definitely buy it. Thanks for the inspiration, too.

It is great to have you onboard too.

You aint slow, mate, you just have other more pressing priorities, as do a lot of us. Welcome aboard.

Serenity,

I knew you'd like the idea. Welcome aboard.

Wow, I'm really pleased with the response so far. I will wait to see if I get any more bites today. Expect the first inspiration suggestion tomorrow.

Say Mark, are you going to create a new blog site with this? I.E. creating it from your account, that way if anyone has ideas for writing they can just go to it when they join the blog group? Just wondering!

Woohoo!
