New Communal Writing Experiment





Ok, the first run of the Communal Writing Experiment blew up in my face (see photo). These things happen. At least it was quick and no one was hurt. 
Time for Plan B: Just follow catemaire or use the Twitter search box to search for: communal writing experiment. Then follow any Tweet with the hashtag (#) communalwritingexperiment (all one word). This #communalwritingexperiment is the identifying mark that tells me your Tweet is part of the writing project. I will post the progress on this blog on a regular basis. 
So far we have:



Morning seen through the gaps in the curtains. Bittersweet light.
Wendell looked out his window, watching the sparrows.

A good start. We can work with this. I'm closing the catescomwritexp Twitter account. Everything will be on the catemaire Twitter account with the hashtag: #communalwritingexperiment, be sure to include that in your Tweets. Or, for easier access go to Cate's Communal Writing Experiment and click on "Cate's Communal Writing Experiment + others. You can see all the contributions there and write your contribution on the Wall. It's super easy.  And thank everyone who is a part of this experiment for supporting this AOA in her effort to push the boundaries of electronic publishing. You are the best.

  3. Not sure how to add the tags -- please post an example.

    Anyway, here is the next line:

    "Particle counters at several nuclear plants on the sunward side of the planet began to trace a slow climb."

  4. I tried to write another entry on your project wall, but it doesn't show up. Am I doing something wrong? My facebook page shows I wrote something!
