   Join us for Relay Writing!
   
   How it works...
   
   Choose a hub (writing prompt) from the Relay Writing participants.
   Their hub will end with a writing prompt.
   You write a new hub with THAT writing prompt and you end it with a NEW writing prompt.
   Another hubber writes the next hub and it keeps going.
   Jump back in when and where you want.
   This can lead to various story threads - have fun with it and enjoy the diversity.
   A hub might get various responses - and that is ok
   
   This is what we have so far,

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Details and suggestions
   - Avoid numbering the hubs in your titles (can get very confusing)
   -Create an original title for your hub
   -Identify your opening and closing writing prompts
   -Include a link to the preceding hub (this way your reader can see where your hub inspiration and writing prompt came from)
   -Post your hub in this forum - using the format I used above
   
   Have fun!
   
   Feel free to post ideas and suggestion!

   Awesome idea! I will have to start reading some of these hubs. I'm not a creative writer, but definitely think this is a really cool idea.

   Missolive, just finished reading your hub Mundane Monday, and can't wait to read barryrutherford's story and the others after that.  Great idea!  I might just give it a try.

   Doing a followup to Sholland10's writing prompt from the article "Be Sure to Wear Your Good Underwear" was fun and challenging. The biggest challenge was I desired to tie it into a Christmas theme. Yet, I thought for fun I would toss in some hints from her article too. Take a peek at both articles if you have a few spare moments and enjoy a good read. Don't forget your favorite hot Holiday Season cup of brew - tea, hot cocoa, coffee, toddy , , ,

      We appreciate it.
      
      It might not be a bad idea for those participating in 'Relay Writing' to include a link to this forum. Some of the hub directions might be a bit confusing.
