Muse‘s editor, Elizabeth Preston, alerts us to this Round-Robin ‘Riting over at the official Muse site. We’re not sure how many MBers are now technically Musers, so we’ll leave to your discretion whether you feel overqualified for this activity.
We just put up our web content for October, and one of the features this month is a round-robin-style writing game. Is this something you think the MuseBloggers would be interested in? If so, here’s a blurb:
Hi, Musers! Our October issue features a story called “The Exquisite Corpse Adventure” written by Jon Scieszka, Katherine Paterson, Kate DiCamillo, and other amazing authors. Each of them contributed a chapter before passing the story on to the next author. Now we’re creating our own Exquisite Corpse story, called “A Zipline to Mount Everest,” at the Muse website. You can see the story so far, and add your own section, here:

(If you’re more of an artist than a writer, we’re also running an Exquisite Corpse drawing contest this month that you can do with your friends or family: http://www.musemagkids.com/museum/exquisite-corpse-parade)
Happy corpse-ing!
Thanks!
Elizabeth
Oh cool! I love doing these.
Sounds like fun to me.
Super sad that MBers wouldn’t be Musers…

There were quite a few plot twists (including zombies, helicopter rescue, at least one ghost, and a grocery store).
