Joint Writing Project

My good friend, Matt Ireland, and I have decided to embark on a Joint Writing Project (JWP). This JWP will serve two purposes: get us both writing and get us both writing outside of our comfort zones. For Matt, I don't think that latter purpose means too much, as he seems comfortable across any number of genres (see his blog for proof). For me, that latter purpose means I write fiction.

For this first issue (episode? attempt?) of the JWP, we have selected a prompt which I will not share with you. I don't want to ruin anything before you get started reading. I will share, though, that I drew heavy inspiration from David Sedaris for my story. Writing about people scares me, so I went with writing about animals. Sedaris has proven that it can be interesting and effective, both qualities I aimed for.

Please navigate on over to Matt's blog (I'll include a link with every issue of the JWP) and check out what he's written. I promise it'll be worth it. (Matt, don't let me down!).
