Write a Story with Me One Line at a Time
I’m 80 comments away from my 4,000th comment. Care to take me over the edge by writing an interactive story? It’ll help your creative juices flow. I’ll start it out with a Twitter/text message length sentence or partial sentence (no more than 140 characters). Then, the next commenter picks up where I left off.
Ready?! Here we go.

Thank you guys for writing a great story with me about the one legged, patch eyed, coffee drinking, Life Pointe attending, jet setter. It was interesting to say the least. Dennis Adams was persistent in trying to get him to Santa Cruz. Ela was persistent in getting him to try and down a Dunkin Donut’s coffee…to no avail.
Again, great stuff.
I got left out of this story…I wanted to participate! WHAT’ S UP WITH THAT?
You have to start another story….
Wait until next friday. My new blog entry on Friday is going to roll like that.
OH NO MORE THINKING PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jan highlighted some posts around our message is affected by the medium, similar to the line Harrison has been pursuing. Scott highlights some mind mapping software he uses for his sermons. And finally, a hilarious (IMO) post from Travis (and friends). [...]
This is hilarious! Reminds me of a game we used to play when I was a Brownie Guide.
