Nebia and I have discussed the poll (with no replies) that I put up and the other ideas we both have for some good fun. First I will tell you she is happy that we are all using the group for stories and having fun. I am also very excited at the way this group participation is growing.Also there is no special set of rules to follow since this is to be completely creative and you write as your spirit posses you.But we do have 3 categories that we both think will be fun for many people, even the shy ones who look but do not write. HINT: If you write your part in your word processor and take your time, you will not make mistakes like I do when typing in a hurry so i can see what else is new on English club.Nebia says lets concentrate on these 3 types mostly.#1. Is a story with ONE photo of your own which may be personal like your wedding or your first day of a new school. It is best to do the writing all ahead of time and copy / paste when you add your new discussion. Maybe some shy people prefer to not do these until they have more practice.#2. This type of story we may want to do for contests. It would usually have SEVERAL photos as a part of the story. It is either done by one person or in combination with a small group. For this to work best, you don't want to post your photos until you and your group have completed the story. If you put the photos up without your story the members will see them as fair game and begin adding their own story like we have done on some already. If you work as a group of 2 or more, you can message your friends to keep your parts secret from us until the whole story is ready.#3. We have already done some of these and everyone is free to add to the story until it is finished. If you start the story and want some special rules about how much each person should add ---then you need to say so right there before you start the story. Everyone including many of the quiet and shy people can have a good time participating in these. I suggested to Nebia that there are several ways the person starting the story can structure it.3- a. One way is to ask everyone to add a single sentence which encourages the greatest number of people to play along and is easier for people still new to writing.3- b. One paragraph of about 2-4 sentences can be chosen and it allows each person to put a little more thought in their part.3.- c. Finally is the unrestricted amount of writing each member can add so that the story can have larger portions by individuals who want to do more creative writing.Nebia feels there is no right or wrong way to have fun in this group with the writing. These are ideas for different types we may want to do. The idea is to let everyone have fun and get some good practice. Again, you may want to compose your part on a separate page so you can have more time to check what you are writing.I think we all need to thank Nebia again for this good little group. If any of you have some more ideas please do share. Have fun and start practicing.

I hope some day you can find "Autumn in my heart" and share it with us, Rana. It would be very interesting to see how it might differ from something you would write now, two years later. But whether you find it or not, you really should start writing again. We have already seen your talent in your blogs and if you write something longer we are all sure to enjoy it.

Thanks Nebia and thanks Bob. I like the 3rd type a lot. I used to do like this. I used to choose a picture then write a story about it, but before 2 years ago I chose a picture but I did not write a short story, I wrote a novel. But I don't know where I left it. I called it " Autumn in my heart". When I lost it I did not write again.
But this group made me think I should write again and I'll do,
Do your best here, good luck!!
