Open Call for Writing Collaborators!

A round robin is a serial novella written by several authors who take turns advancing the plot. One person begins with a "chapter" or "episode" to introduce the story line and the main character, then another writer chimes in with a new character of his/her choice and ties that character into the plot. This goes on as long as the writers are interested.

We want to hear from you! Pitch your idea as to what the next project theme or story arc should be on the Whitesboro Writers Group Round Robin Blog. Please use your initials or pen name if you don't want to use your real name, so we can get in touch with you if necessary. Then we'll vote on the most intriguing ideas and go from there.

This is very much a work in progress, so stay tuned, and let your ideas flow. The last group effort, Underweb Chronicles, was big fun and quite a success.  The series consists of forty-nine chapters written by six different authors. Help us make the next one even better ...

Featured Blog -- "Underweb Chronicles"

Welcome to a romp through the "Underweb."  This on-going project is produced using a round-robin approach to writing.   The  team of writers delivers a diverse set of characters, settings, and action. Come meet Queen Korre and learn of her goal to rule the Underweb,  and beyond.

In this experimental piece, a woman becomes so intrigued by the inner workings of the Internet that a part of her "soul" or "consciousness" is absorbed into her computer.  Once ensconced in this world, she quickly learns the ropes and rises to power as its Queen.

The story opens with Korre at the top of her reign. It will meander through the past,  present and future as “the plot thickens.” You will meet some additional characters.  Some of whom are  in her camp and some trying to overthrow her in a spectacular virtual coup d'etat. Who will emerge victorious?

Underweb Chronicles -- Chapter 1: Prologue

I was human for a great many years and there is one thing I know for sure.  It is  hard. It was too hard for me most of the time, and I am very, very resilient,  so it must be doubly, even triply hard for the likes of you. Read more ...
