Commence la deluge!

Here there be dragons - and weepy women, time-traveling bandits, megacity duct cleanerwomen, and other products of desperate minds. At the outset, this is the location in which Mike and Sean will publish our daily 10-minute writing exercises.

We've been sending each other a pic a day with the directive that we should spend a solid ten minutes writing a short piece on the picture. Aside from that there are no real rules; the snippets have been exclusively, but not restricted to, fiction. At the outset we began writing immediately after looking at the pic, but by consensus we've began to mull over the image for a bit before writing (personally, I think that has led to more depth in the pieces - well, as much depth as you can get in a ten-minute, four or five paragraph writing!).

Eventually we hope to invite others into our writer's circle (though I don't think two points can be used to define a circle). For now, it's just our playroom where we share our little creations with each other...
