Marathon

[shadesong]

The Writing Marathon slumber party will be at my house! We start at 11 PM. Please bring food. Reply in wmga with what food you're bringing. Directions to my house will be posted in wmga.

If you've never been to a writing marathon, I really encourage you to attend! Essentially, we select a prompt... one written by a participant or one taken from elsewhere... and write for a set amount of time on that prompt. It's a great way to loosen up, to get your writerbrain flowing; it's done wonders for me just in the sense of getting writing out, letting the subconscious play. I credit the writing marathons for my foray into daily writing.

Will you be telling us about the marathon? I ask, because I've thought about having a writing party before. I just wasn't sure how to make it fun between the writing bits. Do you read your stuff to each other?

Yep! Every hour or so, we break to read. Reading is *strictly optional*; there's never any pressure. And we don't critique each other...it's not that kind of group. :)
