Write Your Way Out of a Paper Bag

Can you write your way out of a paper bag? Let's find out!

This is a writing inspiration swap. Grab a paper bag (a lunch-size sack is the ideal size) and put five items in it. Then send the bag off to your partner.

The five items can be found treasures, quotes, random bits of whatnot, photos, etc. The idea is to use the five items to inspire an article, story, scene, poem, essay or any other creative work.

Rate your partner on receiving the paper bag with five items. When you get your bag, post below the items and how you plan to turn them into a creative piece.

I've marked this as a Type 3 swap, but it can be flat mail -- the items you send don't have to be bulky or expensive. Sender's choice though.

Snail mail. Group membership. International.
