Day 169: Pass it on

It’s Writing Day!

Writing Prompt: Write an “exquisite corpse” story with friends.

Exquisite Corpse is a creative game where one person starts a story, poem or piece of art, and passes it along to the next person with only a portion of their work visible for them to build on. The chain continues, and the final result is unexpected and often very funny. It’s no surprise it was invented by surrealists.

Get some friends to join in on a writing experiment. It’s a good option for an asynchronous way to stay in touch with friends when everyone’s suffering from Zoom fatigue.
