The Traveling Story – FAQ

I’m terrifically excited to be a cast member of Season One of The Traveling Story: 5 Authors. 5 Days. 1 Story. I will be posting my contribution tomorrow, but in the meantime, here are the most Frequently Asked Questions about the project.

What is the Traveling Story?

Each season of The Traveling Story will feature 5 well-known authors collaborating on one original, kick-ass story, with each author writing one of five episodes. The full story will be revealed over the course of a week, with each episode appearing on the blog of the author who wrote it.

How Does it Work?

There are only three rules for The Traveling Story:

1) No brainstorming, outlining, or discussion of plot ahead of time. The first author writes the first episode of ANY kind of story they want and the next author picks up where that episode leaves off, taking it WHEREVER they want to go! The last author ends the story however they see fit!

2) An author cannot make changes to any previous episode. Each author has total creative control over their OWN episode only, but it has to continue where the last episode leaves off.

3) Authors are required to HAVE FUN! As you’ll see from the awesome story that came out of this, we don’t take ourselves too seriously. The Traveling Story is meant to be fun for the writers and especially for the readers.
