600 seconds is a group weblog and daily writing exercise to which I belong. The idea is pretty simple: a writing prompt, or topic, is posted every day, and everyone writes on that topic for ten minutes (no less). There are no rules or restrictions on what you can write, or what genres and styles you adopt. To participate, all you need is a Blogger account and ten minutes to spare each day.
It’s been a little quiet there lately, and one of my New Year’s resolutions is to try to change that. So I’m looking for new members (or I’m not so subtly nudging some of the old who read this blog). Let me know if you’re interested. The best way to get a sense of the place is to check out the earlier archives and see what people have written, but I’ll be happy to try to answer any questions.
My theory is, anything that gets people writing is a good thing.
