Group Writing

I did not go to the previous writers meeting, but we do have a really interesting group writing assignment due this Saturday, which I am super excited about. If you belong to a group of writers (5-7 people), you can try this.

Assign each person another persona. So if you are Jack in reality, you have to be another member of your group - female preferably. This doubles the level of difficulty.

Create a basic scenario during which something monumental happens. For example, everyone is in a yoga class and on that particular day, there is a substitute teacher. Nobody really likes the substitute and everyone is bickering about her and in general. Suddenly the power goes off for an hour, and conversations continue in the dark.

When the lights come back on, there is a dead body on the floor. (One person has to agree to be the dead guy).

Each person has to write their own version of the story start to finish with relation to the alleged murder.

This is a fun assignment and the potential results can be hilarious!

Good luck if you try it!
