Description:

Thanks for all the feedback! This series will continue in snailmail form! I'll leave the other electronic version up, since there are people who have already signed up.

This is the Swap-Bot version of the website "Write Here, Write Now." (http://oneword.com) I'd like to do a bunch of these is enough people are interested in this idea!

Here's how it works: You will write any form of prose and send it to one (1) partner. Ideally, you shold write without first thinking about what you will write. It should be spur of the moment. Whatever first pops into your head, just run with it! It should be a lot of fun, and possibly help you to just write.

You should put effort into what you send. It doesn't really matter what you write about, as long as you write a minimum of one hand-written page. (If you decide to do poetry, use your judgement). EDIT: You MAY send your partner a typed letter. I used "hand-written page" as a general measurement, but you don't have to hand write it.

By all means, please don't stop at the minimum! The longer the better. :)

The topic word is VOYAGE
You can interpret and incorporate the word into your writing any way you would like. You don't have to include the word. You can imply, use a synonymn, etc..just get your point across.

A 5 RATING SHOULD BE GIVEN FOR RECIEVING AT LEAST SOMETHING, UNLESS IT IS OBVIOUS THEY JUST WROTE A SENTENCE OR TWO AND DIDN'T TRY. In this swap, it's not necessarily about the content. Be nice and give some feedback as well! Please e-mail or message me with any questions/concerns!

Rated users 4.8 with no recent 1's or 3's can join. Newbies welcome with a nicely filled out profile. I will be checking profiles, and anyone suspicious will be banned. Message me with any concerns. This should be a fun and easy swap!

Please be courteous and remember to rate your partner when you receive your swap!

Besides the Write Here, Write Now site mentioned above, there is a site called 750 words which encourages people to write spontaneously 750 words, every day if you can, but there are no rules or requirements, also no prompts. Whatever comes to your mind. It gives stats about your state of mind as well as letting you know how long it took you to write and what your typing speed was. If this sort of discipline appeals to you, check it out.
