POLICY FOR WRITING EXERCISE BOARD(m)


This board is for the monthly writing exercise. One story relating to the exercise per month (2000 words or less) and one rewrite. The reasons for this are that many people want to do the exercises and recieve feedback on their work. Because the boaard archives after 55-60 primary posts, if the board gets cluttered with all types of non-exercise writing, the board archives before people get feedback.

Non-exercise related posts and longer writings may be posted at the Storyboard: Member to Member Feedback. That URL is:


Not sure, sorry to hear that it's a big deal.



Has there been a change of policy on this board? (m)


Haven't visited for a week or so, butI know that formerly you could only post the month's writing exercise and limit yourself to one post per board. There's some really interesting stuff appearing here, but it makes the board a bit of a mish-mash. Isn't "member to member" the appropriate place for non-exercise posts?

Okay, here's Part 2...I've had all this for two days, just didn't realize I forgot to


post it here...so sorry.

Part two

Sitting in the darkest corner of the room, Smokey lit his pipe, and leaned back into the rocker. A lot had changed in his life in the last two weeks, and he was still taking it all in.

He crossed his legs, and from his lap he dislodged several pieces of paper. He let them lay where they fell. It wasn't as if he hadn't read every damning word. He had the whole thing memorized.


New bone to chew..(this is a 10 yr old re-write) Have fun

" I can take care of myself, thank you. "

Chapter one

Blurry and unfocused, the solid oak casket gleamed like gold in the hot August sun. Charity simply stared ahead, with no thought to what the preacher was saying, and no thought for the people around her. She had cried out her tears hours ago, and she was left with little more than a dry moan.


"Making Faces" continued from last board...C/P


Ugh, I can't seem to make this into a "story" per se. It is more and more auto-bio and less fiction and it still feels like an essay or an article. HELP!!!

I remember the hallway, lined with turquoise shag carpet and punctuated by a full length mirror at the end...two, maybe three years old watching myself grow as I got closer to the glass...


Hello! Is this new board acting funky? (m)


I just posted under robbiescottysmom and it put me ahead of bigirl's post and wiped out one of robbie's posts - I think...

Well whatever, Happy New Year y'all! You've been busy writers! Archived a whole board while I was held captive at work. Sorry if any of my postings were becoming incoherent babbling (instead of just plain babbling) before Christmas...I realized I was becoming too tired to be an effective contributor AFTER I burned out...

To the New Year! And to your writing, one and all!
