We-Write Partner Up!
We-Write Partnering Up Is Back!
It's time for some fun!
If collaborating with another creative mind is something you love, then step up and find a partner!
What is a We-Write?
A We-Write is a fun way to write a story with a partner using the daily prompt given by @mariannewest.
The idea is to find a partner either by your own contacts or through the comment section, then come together to write a complete story.
How Do We Play?
Helpful tip: Plan how post payouts will be shared with your partner beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.😁
Option 1
- Pick a partner and open up a shared Google doc.
- Decide who will begin writing.
- Prepare a timer for each writer. Alternate writing for 1 minute each.
- Use the word “Go” to let the other know that it was their turn.
- Use the prompt provided.
- Put the word/phrase at the top of the page.
- The first freewriter sets a timer for 1 minute and begins writing.
- When the minute is up, type the word “GO” to let the next writer know to begin.
- Carry on, alternating turns, until 10 minutes have passed (each has written for 5 minutes).
- Combine the sentences (cleaning up the formatting and removing the “Go’s” if you wish).
- Place the “cleaned up” version of the story below the exercise.
- Submit the link and then enjoy reading that day’s freewrites!
Option 2
- Pick a partner and open up a shared Google doc.
- Decide who will begin writing.
- Set a timer for 10 minutes.
- First freewriter writes one sentence.
- Then, the other freewriter writes one sentence.
- Switch back and forth until the 10 minutes are over.
Option 3
- This option is especially good if you can't find a time which suits both writers
- Each freewriter writes a 5 minute freewite.
- Exchange the freewites (This can be done in comments, through Discord, Steemit Chat, or email)
- Write 5 more minutes on the partners freewrite and finish the story.
- You can both publish the freewrites and if you want, add a bit on how that kind of writing felt to you. Was it fun? Difficult? Want to do it again?

My entry last part along with @carolkean. She writes an amazing twist. I laughed and laughed. Thanks @freewritehouse for this amazing contest.

For once, I stopped freewriting at the 5-minute mark, then added links to related stories. Thanks for tagging me, @sarez, and thanks for the fun of the freewrite, @freewritehouse!

I like a good WeWrite if anyone is interested. Option 3 is best due to time difference. I don't mind who does Part 1 or 2.
😀
I'd like to try it again, too! How about if you start it? If you set up a shared google document, I now know how to add on to it. (Proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks! Ha ha!)
Let's do it. I'll try and get a Part 1 done later today.
☺
Ok, here is Part 1

I hope it works. I've only done that once before.
Once finished, feel free to make the post. Good luck.
I finally got around to checking this out....sorry it took me two days! And it says I need permission to open the link. I sent a request.... no idea how long it takes to get it sorted out. Oops.
No worries, I have given you access. Feel free to post the story when are done. Enjoy. 😎
Thanks!!!
I finished the story. You should be able to copy the whole thing from the shared document and paste it into your compose-a-post page. Thanks for writing with me! You gave me a great story to finish!
Thank you too. I'm back at work so I've been ultra busy. I will have a look soon and post it. Don't forget to do the same yourself.
edit: I just read it. Brilliant :-D
I'll do a couple with a couple different people. Let me know if you are interested below this comment. If the mood strikes you to go first, do so or I will. 8-)
I am interested. Later when my sons nap, I will write it out for you to continue. Or if you do it earlier than me, then I will continue yours. Hehe.
@tristancarax this is my part one.

Awesome. It is done. I just went from the first part. I didn't see the continuation until after I wrote what I did.

It is alright. Still awesome continuation. 🙂
