Description:

Describe five things from the following list. Each description should be a minimum of one paragraph. Decorate the envelope before sending - you don't have to be an artist but no sticker slapping or just using washi tape (that doesn't mean you can't use stickers or washi but they shouldn't be the only decoration.)

Describe...

1) your favorite childhood toy

2) a monster

3) a new food or recipe

4) one possession that means the most to you

5) your dream house or room

6) your favorite character from a book, movie, or TV

7) someone you think is handsome or beautiful

8) the oldest or youngest person you know

9) yourself as you think a stranger on the street would see you

10) your favorite animal

11) an eccentric character (think the crazy cat lady)

12) your desk or other workspace

13) a child laughing

14) a rainbow (without using any color names)

15) your favorite smell, taste, texture, or sound - but without using any descriptions from that sense - i.e. don't describe how something tastes by comparing it to another taste

16) a dark and stormy night

17) being caught unprepared in a rain or snow storm

18) a photo you've taken (how awesome would it be to share the photo!)

19) sitting on the beach

20) an everyday object (i.e. pencil, coffee mug, car keys...)

The nitty-gritty: 2 partners. Can be typed or handwritten. Decorated envelope is sender's choice

The rules: 4.9 rating or higher. No 1s or 3s in the last 6 months. No unexplained 1s or 3s before that. Unrated swappers welcome with a well-filled out profile and if you contact me by PM. Must have signed on within 3 days of assigning partners so I know you're still active.

Got It? Respond to five prompts typed or handwritten. Send your responses to two partners in a decorated envelope by the deadline.

Just a note that @ciera0492 is past due on several swaps. You might want to reconsider her in this swap. My swap alone had 5 partners, so she'll have five 1 ratings soon.

@VivaLaDiane your input is appreciated. I always check partners at the end before assigning and would have taken care of it because she doesn't meet the swap requirements. I hope since you have such an interest you will consider joining this swap also.

Since this is s creative writing swap I am telling it from the point of view of the main character in my novel. I hope this will be acceptable. If you don't think it would work, please drop me. Thanks.

@cynaemon I didn't see your note before assigning, but I agree with you that creative writing is subjective. I think writing from the point of view of a character in your novel is pretty awesome and definitely within the parameters.

Thanks seekingjoytoday. I am really having fun with this one.
