Write me a short story about...

Gnomes, Fairies, Trains, Race Cars, Grocery Shopping

Elevators, cakes, the moon, traffic, a genie

How short is short? Is there a number-of-words range, please? I've been doing micro-fiction lately, so my lengths are all wonky.

Heck yes! I've been loving all the writing swaps I've been seeing lately. Making me productive in my favorite field :) Are you a member of the "Write Now" group? they hold a bunch of fun exercises/swaps. I also second the length question.

Gryphons, teacups, archery, foxes, New Orleans.

a fireplace, birds, your childhood, my childhood (according to your imagination), The Dreaded Octopus (the box of miscellaneous tangled cords that my husband has on display on out living room floor)

1. Wandering about a graveyard.

2.Watching birds feeding.

3.Gnomes

4.A very naughty pixie.

5.It’s a summer day and you are laying on the grass watching the clouds scudding across the sky.

I am so happy and overwhelmed you have joined me! AS for length I must leave it to the author, it is better to not place limits on genius. I did not know about a group called WRITE NOW, I must join them! Reading what you all wrote is inspiring I want to write for all of you! If you really need a limit perhaps ask your partner? Is that fair?

I love to journal (about my boys) and I have a blog (about my artistic endeavors) but these are both "real-life" stories. I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone and am trying to write "fiction" stories. I LOVE the idea of this swap but I'm scared!

1. rabbits

2. gummy bears

3. apple-bottomed cheeks

4. spaghetti

5. sesame crackers

Ok here it goes: 1. Paintbrushes 2. The Amish 3. Cats 4. Quilts 5. Black-eyed Susans

Too cool! Glad you jumped in KimberlyJDC! Take one of your real-life stories, and change it to make it more fictional (add characters, change the outcome/situation, etc.).

Here's my list: 1. magnolias; 2. rubber bands; 3. a shiny new penny; 4. the neighborhood tom cat; 5. a very sad day

1. A foreign man(anywhere but USA,since im from there)
   1. books
   2. water 4 money 5 love

I dont know what I did wrong lol

Would be nice to do a swap that you have to use all 5 of those items in, hmmmmmmm

true perhaps in the next swap Hearts and it did not look like you did anything wrong :)

1. A rabbit
2. An ill duck
3. A rainy day
4. A marvelous Tea Party
5. A little boy

I hope this works..

1 ~ Moving to a new place. 2 ~ A camera. 3 ~ Blue and silver. 4 ~ Butter. 5 ~ Snapdragons.

1. a troubled teen
2. an eating competition
3. someone that runs a small roadside attraction
4. a frog school (as in a school that frogs attend)
5. Atlantis

(I'm not faint at heart if mine is more than PG (not NC-17, but am cool w/PG-13 or R, LOL...I like things with darker themes and don't mind cursing, etc. I also like cheery things, so that's cool too!)

I would love: 1) any fantasy fiction 2) anything Christian/ spiritual based 3) dragons 4) historical fiction 5) the helpful garden gnome that causes trouble

cats, fairies, camping, a rainy day (even though i've seen so many in Oregon lately, LOL!), and/or corndogs (because i have a bumper sticker on my car that says "Life is like a corndog... i don't know why, it just is!")

adult content is fine, and it can be happy, sad, light-hearted, dark, whatever you like, and however many pages it takes to write it :-) anything else, just PM and ask!

1. A floating city in the sky
2. living in the forest
3. a robot
4. mermaids
5. jellyfish

1) ninja 2) theme music 3) vampire 4) someone who is not what they seem 5) masquerade

I have been formulating a story in my head and just now I went back and read the instructions and it said to pick ONE theme... my partner will be getting a story with all 5 of her things listed... funny!

Bah! This is such a cool idea, how did I miss this swap?? I hope you host it again! xx
