For this writing swap, each participant is going to have a role to play!

When you sign up, post below a number between 1 to 350. No two people can post the same number.

Why? Most books are about 350 pages. From whatever novel I am reading when the swap sign-ups close, I will choose a word from each page posted and that will determine the word list for our random short stories. (In the event of landing on articles -- a, and, the -- the next word will go on the list.)

The more people who participate, the longer the word list will be!

The number of people in the swap when sign-ups close will also determine what word I select from each page. For example, if there are 20 people in the swap, I will select the 20th word on every page listed in the comments section. If 34 people participate, I will select the 34th word on every page, etc.

I'll post the word list here in the comment area when partners are assigned.

You will write your short story being sure to use each word on our random list, and then send a copy to two partners.

This is our fifth round of this fun swap.

TIP: If you're participating in National Novel Writing Month, use this to boost your word count -- make your story fit in your NaNo novel!

Let's have some fun in this random word short story challenge swap!
