Intro

Rachael and I have been playing writing games off and on since we met in the spring of 2010. I have a box full of the sheets we've written on and a binder that is beginning to fill up with more. We usually take a book off the shelf, and while one of us holds the book open, the other closes his or her eyes and points to a spot on the page. Usually we go with whatever word is pointed out. Sometimes neither of us likes the word and we'll choose again.

Depending on the mood we're in, we'll give ourselves anywhere between 2 and 5 minutes to write. Sometimes we feel like our writing is inspired, and other times we feel like we're just trudging along. No matter how we feel, we discover new and interesting things about ourselves and each other.

I've chosen this  first writing from August of 2010, because I think it gives a peek at what is to come in the writings that we'll continue to share. It's always exciting for us to see what will appear when that timer goes off. The results vary (as you will see) but that is part of the adventure.We hope that you will enjoy the discovery as much as we have.
