Bosley? Here Boy!

Bosley is the king of the castle. He's the first to chase away the birds, scamper after the squirrels and terrorize the chickens. He's in charge and if you think other wise he'll be the first to...

Redefining Gravity's Effects

No matter how many times I stood under the Rainier building, I still marveled at it's construction. Instead of tumbling to the ground it was a constant reminder that I too could defy the odds. There was always a good chance that...

NEW CONTEST

To start with I love all the comments and think it's amazing where everyone takes the stories we write together. Which got me thinking, How would you start the ad-libs?

Mother Nature

Afraid to awaken the mother of all life. I stood in front of her face waiting to find the right moment to announce myself. A light breeze pasted across her face pushing her hair back as she opened her eyes....

Blood

As far as I knew he needed my blood and with out it he would go on living an average life, but I knew he needed it to be whole to be better and to continue on being the miraculous person that he was. This was a sacrifice I was willing to accept. My blood was a precious limited resource...

Bacon for Breakfast

It was breakfast time at the Johnson's house which could only mean one thing; bacon, eggs and fresh hot biscuits with butter were waiting to be eaten. Mornings like these made Jane feel like she was back in the nineteen fifties.

Different Formats

Another way to do ad-libs is by asking these questions and filling in the storyline.

Once upon a time...
And everyday...
Until that day...
Because of this...
And because of this...
Until finally...
And ever since that day...

Try out this formula for this idea. See if it works. Comment on it and tell me if it's a better format for starting a story.

The warm, fresh , rich blend of coffee permeated my nose...

Now what? Where are we? what's happening? Who's there? Fill it in with your own writing!

She stood in the hallway ...

tired from a long day at school. Her shoes untied, a tear tricked down her cheek. Obviously it had been one of those days. ( Now what happens? Join it. )

Remember back in school

My favorite thing in school was ad-libs and I loved participating in them. It was probably the only thing I liked about school. Thanks to my friends on Facebook I got a fun idea for a blog.

I've been trying to come up with some sort of idea for the last year. I didn't want to sit and rant about my life(It's not that exciting.) and I also didn't feel I had enough knowledge on writing, to be giving advice. So after a bit of a journey I found the answer. Ad-libs!

This is all for fun. I want all those writers out there to join in. (Even the closet cases. You know who you are. You love to write, but get caught up in the fear of sharing.)

I have no intention of publishing any of the work we do together. The goal is to see how long we can keep a specific story going. (Please keep it at a PG 13 rating.) I hope this will help inspire writers to do what we do best. Keep Writing! Like my mama used to say, "creativity breeds creativity."
