#StoryFriday is a fun, collaborative process that takes place every Friday on Twitter and is hosted by Writer’s Digest‘s Online Editor Brian A. Klems (@BrianKlems).
How it works:
We write the first line on Twitter, then someone adds next line on Twitter and so on. When you contribute a line to the story, place #storyfriday at the end of your tweet (i.e., He was leaving on a jet plane and never coming back. #storyfriday) so everyone can read it and follow along. To read past stories, visit the #StoryFriday Archive below.
Start time:
Around 9:30 a.m. Eastern time, Brian will post a new prompt through @WriterDigest with the #storyfriday hashtag.
Examples of a few #StoryFriday stories and how they turned out:
Good Gift
It’s small and simple
and quite light
I forget what
you decided
It should be made
from finally
I wish we
had gone ahead
and patented it;
A really good idea
and I wear mine often
As it’s handy
Just the way
you said
it would be
When you gave
it to me
I remember
how carefully
you burned
the message
onto the surface
Before stringing
it on a leather thong
and slipping
it over my
head
What could be
more perfect?
How often did people
say, “knock on wood”
Then spend the next few
minutes looking
around for some wood?
With this pendant…
I’d always have
mine handy
sorry – this is posted in the wrong spot – it should be at Poetic Asides…
I would love to participate but The fact that you have to be a part of a social account is disappointing. If you decide to start hosting the challenge on Writers Digest I’m there!
I don’t think so without twitter and Facebook account are very important.But they help to get somethings newer user also.But you should give opportunity without social account.

I agree with alot of the others most people have facebook accounts but not twitter acounts and some have neither so lets not exclude anyone just because they don’t have a twitter account or a facebook account this should be foreveryone!
I often do a Finish My Sentence Friday, which is a similar creative exercise that is exclusive to Facebook. Check the Writer’s Digest Facebook page on Fridays to see if one is happening! If there’s demand, I’ll start doing it weekly again.
Sounds fun! But this should be available on Facebook as well.
Maybe even on Facebook?
It’s a neat idea – but what about people who don’t have Twitter accounts? There should be a version that can be done on the Writers Digest website itself, through comments or some other way of including wannabe participants who don’t have Twitters
Can’t wait to play. Like a new grown-up version of ‘whispering down the lane.’ Maybe I’ll ask some of the vampires I blog for out at the venerable manor house in Chestnut Hill (like New York’s Riverdale, but in a 135 year old Philadelphia greensward) for ideas……Got to go boil a big pot of spaghetti. They don’t eat it. They just like the rich, warm, starchy aroma……Ah, the ‘life’ of a vampire ‘familiar’………
