Hosting over that Torquere LJ today
I'm playing hostess today at Torquere Press's social community on live journal (http://community.livejournal.com/torquere_social/).
Today I'm doing something we call "stunt writing" - you start off in the morning with a call for prompts single word or short phrase prompts, and at the end of the day compose a short bit of fiction that uses as many of them as possible. I usually try to see how many I can work into a single piece. If you want to come make my life more difficult/interesting, the call for prompts is here:

I'll post whatever I've come up with at the end of the day. This usually ends up being silly little throw-away bits, and it's totally raw first draft, but since you start out saying "This is a throw-away" it really helps get by that "This has to be perfect" self-editing function that slows down getting your first draft out there for a lot of people.
