What?
This blog aims to collect and publish micro-stories received from people in Thailand through the 55-word story writing endeavour on Twitter. Stories are accepted by anyone who lives/has lived in Thailand!
How?
- We release a new word each weekday morning.
- The word is tweeted by the @BKKbeginners account on Twitter - we tag people who have signed up with their Twitter IDs.
- We also send out an email to those who have sent us their email addresses.
- Use the daily word to create your short story, not more than 55 words.
- Email it with your Twitter handle/real name/pen name to bangkokbeginners@gmail.com by midnight.
- All the stories are published on this blog the next day.
Why?
Many of us love writing/blogging, but find it hard to make time to do so on a daily basis. That's where 55-word stories come in - after all, it takes only a few minutes to think of and put down 55 words!
Writing these micro-stories is meant to encourage daily bursts of creativity and help us stay in touch with the our inner storyteller. Reading other people's interpretations of the same theme can also be an eye-opening experience.
If you’re interested in being tagged, tweet us at @BKKbeginners or email us at bangkokbeginners@gmail.com
Happy writing!
