Description:

Creative Writing Prompt Swap.

This swap is to help creative writers over their worst obstacle: Writer's Block.

Send your partner:

A paragraph about something you hold as a superstition. (It is, after all, Writer's Block #13). I am, for instance, superstitious about travelling to California with my spouse. I will tell my partner why.

Bonus points for mailing it on (rather than near) the send-by date!

The idea of this swap is to get your creative juices flowing, and help other writers do the same, without having a large financial outlay.

I promised to reveal my California superstition . . . so here it is: My superstition has to do, as I mentioned in the swap description, with traveling to California with my husband.

The reason I have such a strange superstition dates back a few years to when we were first married, and still had SEVEN grandparents between us. Each time we visited California together, though, another grandparent DIED. After the third one, we stopped going together. (He seems to be able to travel frequently to CA, alone, for business, without incident).

Presently, only my paternal grandmother is still alive, and it was with some trepidation that I attended my husband's sister's wedding in Sonoma in May.

I am happy to report that my grandmother survived my trip. :-) --Jen aka Angry Spinner
