FAQs

I found #writersdash on Twitter, what is it?

The Writers’ Dash (#writersdash on Twitter) is a 15-minute free writing exercise held on Twitter, Facebook and Second Life^® every weekday. At 5:30am & 5:30pm PDT we share the word prompt on our social media channels; the live event begins in Second Life^® at 6am & 6pm PDT. Write whatever comes to you. Don’t fixate too heavily on what you are writing and disengage your inner editor – the key is for you to get the words on the page first; you can worry about editing later. If you are attending the live event in Second Life^® there will be an opportunity for you to show your work to the other participants after the 15 minutes are up. If you are unable to attend the live event you can share your work on our blog. Just look out for the prompt post and leave your dash piece as a comment.

In addition to our week day prompts we also include two exciting challenges for the weekend.

The Siclit Fiction Prod (#siclish) is a more challenging form of the dash, held every Saturday in Second Life^® at 1:30 PST.

The Piclit Dash (#piclish) is a 15-minute free writing exercise inspired by a picture. It’s held on Twitter, Facebook and live on Second Life^® every Sunday at 2:30 pm PST/5:30 pm EST/10:30 pm GMT.

Each week we post a new picture prompt to inspire you.

When you’ve created your poem or piece of fiction simply publish it on your own blog then come back and post a link to your contribution with the linky below (be sure to link to the post in question and not simply your blog url). Once you have added your name to the list grab the linky code and paste it into your post – an identical list will then appear on your site enabling readers to hop from blog to blog.

FAQs

I found #dailydash/#writersdash on Twitter, what is it?

The Writers’ Dash (#writersdash or #dailydash on Twitter) is a 15-minute free writing exercise held on Twitter, Facebook and Second Life^® every day. The Piclit Picture Prompt live event begins in Second Life^® on Sunday at 2:30 PST. Write whatever comes to you. Don’t fixate too heavily on what you are writing and disengage your inner editor – the key is for you to get the words on the page first; you can worry about editing later. If you are attending the live event in Second Life^® there will be an opportunity for you to show your work to the other participants after the 15 minutes are up. If you are unable to attend the live event you can share your work on our blog. Simply leave your dash piece as a comment below.
