Description:

Can you write your way out of a paper bag? Let's find out!

This is a writing inspiration swap. Grab a paper bag (a lunch-size sack is the ideal size) and put five items in it. Then send the bag off to your partner.

The five items can be found treasures, quotes, random bits of whatnot, photos, etc. The idea is to use the five items to inspire an article, story, scene, poem, essay or any other creative work.

Rate your partner on receiving the paper bag with five items. When you get your bag, post below the items and how you plan to turn them into a creative piece.

I've marked this as a Type 3 swap, but it can be flat mail -- the items you send don't have to be bulky or expensive. Sender's choice though.

Snail mail. Group membership. International.

Maybe we could have a thread in the forum where people can post their creations! :D

Great idea. I'll set it up before partners are assigned.

Partners are assigned. Let's get swapping!

One question, after posting how one plans to turn items into a creative piece, do we send our work back to person who sent items?

You can if you'd like to. It's not required.

I got a blue feather in a similar swap back when the Write Now group existed. That feather ended up being a key element in a novel i was writing. That element didn't come to me for a while afterward. BTW: I still have that feather on my desk.

A bag is dropped in the box for a.m. pickup out to my partner. Today is a US Holiday so the mail won't move until tomorrow. Enjoy.
