Let’s write a story; here’s how you play: (1)Read my introduction. (2)Write the following paragraph to develop the story. (3) Drop a comment saying you did it either here or in your blog so others can follow your paragraph (4) Don’t lose track of the details. (5) When I put the next section up I’ll compile the ones that have been posted (with trackbacks to your site) and then we can continue from there.

That’s it. The goal is to flesh out the character and start developing a plot thread across a few blogs and flexing some creative muscle. Just like any book, everything isn’t packed into one paragraph but flows from word to chapter to paragraph. Feel free to play.
