Secret Subject Swap

 

What was a Secret Subject Swap? A writing challenge taken on by a group of bloggers willing to push the boundaries of blogging. Each participant in the swap sent in a prompt, was then assigned someone else’s prompt, and wrote a post. All of the bloggers on the same day and at the same time divulged their Secret Subject, linked to the blogger who provided their subject, and publish their piece.

The Swap, meant to be a one time post to inspire a friend with a bit af a writers' block, went on monthly, for over 10 years, ending with a loving tribute to a long time member of the community.
