Episode 18 Round Robin / Chain Storytelling

All levels of writers and readers will enjoy. this episode and technique.

The point of this collective storytelling is, for the next person/author adds on more to the story.

And we had great fun using this technique to exercise our creativity and explore new skills to add our repertoire. Let’s see where the stories take the group!
Drama, mystery, and humor.

We began with a story prompt from different genres each time.
We also experimented with different guidelines for the storytelling.
