In a time when we are all captive in our own homes, the ennui and cabin fever we are subject to can get to even the most stalwart of us.  In the spirit of fellowship and camaraderie, we offer you here a chance to escape. We’ve concocted a literary challenge for ourselves in an effort to engage you, our audience, we hope you will enjoy.

The name of the game is follow the leader.

The rules are as follows:

  1.  There will be two writers, myself & my co-conspirator
  2.  The writers (us) will alternate days we write.  So if I write today, my co-conspirator writes tomorrow 
  3. We will be writing 6 days a week. (Monday – Saturday). 
    1. Chapters will be posted every night 9 PM PST
  4. Each writer may read the post once it is completed prior to posting, but may not start writing until 12AM of their day
    1. Ex.:  I read my co-conspirators’ Monday post, he finishes at 1:00 PM on Monday for that evening’s 9 PM post.  I may not begin my post till 12 AM Tuesday.
  5. Ech writer maintains total independent creative direction for their post.  Think of it as literary improv. 
    1. It must build-off previous posts, but the future of the story lies in the hands of whomever is writing that day.
  6. Our writings will be supplemented by our extremely talented and creative illustrator.
    1. He will be held to each of these rules as we are, with the exception that his drawings are to be inspired by the chapter it pertains to.  
  1. AND FINALLY…Each writer (and the illustrator) is allowed precisely one hour to write (or draw) their post and not a second more.
    1. A small amount of time after the hour is allotted for grammatical & spelling corrections, but absolutely no creative changes.  

Over the course of the next month this story will unfold. We are captive to the spinning of this story, as you, the audience, are to its unfolding. So please, join us as this tale transpires. We promise, it will be anything but boring.
