Writers Guidelines for Traveling Book (Thanks for the title of "traveling book", it's a great name!)
1. The portion you will write can be a minimum of one page or a maximum of unlimited.
2. Add your portion on seperate paper, but number you pages according to the last number
of the last persons part. For example, if the first person ended with page 3, you would begin
page 4.
3.Your portion can be handwritten, as long as it is legible, or word processed.
4. Please make sure your name and address are attached to your wriiten work, and the date.
5. Maximum of keeping the traveling book for two weeks before sending it on to the next
person, to allow time for your writing.
6. A list of names and addresses will be enclosed with the book. Cross out the person you
are sending the book to, so the next person knows who to send it on to. Be sure the
address list moves on with the book.
7.The book may circle two or three times, or even more, depending on how long it gets and
you may add abother portion, picking up where the last person left off.
8. You don't have to be a noviced writer to join in, just a creative imagination and spell check
if you need to!
9. Don't worry about chaptering it right now.
Ok, if anyone needs clarification, let me know!

..looks like I need spell-check, lol! Another guideline is to keep the book mailed in an 8 1/2 by 11 manila envelope. Also, the name came from "craftystranger". Thanks again!

I think the story should be wrote in the first-person style, that is where "you" are the story-teller conveying your own (imaginary or in reference to your own life) thoughts on paper as the "character". Sometimes this style is easier to work with. What do you think, opinions?

An update, I had been down with strep for a week, better now : ) I am in process of creating the first few pages I have scenarios running through my mind for the story. If anyone has a real or imagined scenario, short and sweet, maybe we can weave it in..ideas needed! Then I will get it typed up and enroute to the first circle author.

Carole, you might email Valleygal, as I don't think she has been on the forum for awhile.
