With a new confinement announced in Paris and Berlin on the 30th of October, I had created and invited international creatives to participate in a 7-day writing experience to inspire creativity during challenging times like these.
Little did I know that the experience would garner so much international interest.
We were a group of 31 people from several different countries/timezones, writing in several different languages including, English, French, Italien, Spanish and Japanese.
By the end of the 7-days, I received some feedback from the participants.
Read a little bit about their experiences below:
Participant feedback:
“Thank you again for organizing this and the work that you put into creating the prompts for the week. I really enjoyed devoting 10 minutes a day to this kind of free writing…there was one day of very unexpected writing that might prove to be something worth revisiting and turning into a short story of sorts.” – A.M.D.
“Merci pour cette expérience très enrichissante !” –M.D.
“Buongiorno, it was a wonderful adventure for me and it nice to know that we are living it together with other people, I can feel an energy around all of us… it allowed me to get closer to myself, like a journey/travel of introspection.” – S.M.
Given such positive feedback as well as international interest, I plan to hold another round of 7-days at the end of the month.
For anybody who wants to join for the next round, please note that this experience is totally open and free for anybody to participate. Whether you are an author, poet, screenwriter, songwriter or just write for your enjoyment.
How does it work?
Step 1: You will receive an email each morning for 7 days with a writing prompt.
Step 2: You set a timer for 10 minutes and just let the prompt and your ideas flow onto the page.
Step 3: After those 10 minutes are up, whatever you write on the page becomes a piece for you to use (or not), however you like. You may be quite surprised by what comes out in those 10 minutes.
If you want to share in the experience, just let me know by entering your email below.
