The Round Robin is a great invention. Every week you're given a list of seven prompts––one for each day of the week, and the name of a new partner to exchange your writing with. You write to the prompt for 10-12 minutes, and then you and your partner email each other what you've written. The next day, you comment on what your partner sent you the day before, and exchange
that day's prompts. This continues for ten weeks––and every week you're assigned a new partner along with seven new prompts. It's a blast.
But there's another great thing about this class in addition to the writing. You meet the best people in the universe. Katie, for instance––my partner this week. We ended up taking a walk together and then plopped down in the sand with Primo to watch the sun go down.

Wonderful! I'm happy for you!
Gina: Well .... I heard a rumor that you finished your chapter.
SIGN UP!
p.s. This Thursday is your birthday. Just in case you forgot.
Ha! I haven't heard back from my co-editor yet. He might not like the chapter!
I would love to join the group. Wish I could.
Yes, my birthday is Thursday. I was trying to forget!
P.S. Four MORE BIG chapters to go, plus editing all the other chapters, writing intros, and pushing the whole thing through the editing, indexing, etc. process.....
GIna, I understand. But let's have a big fat breakfast on Thurs.
The next RR session probably won't start up again anyway until you're finished with those 4 big chapters, editing, intros, pushing the whole thing through the editing, indexing... (OH MY GOD!!! I'm going to go lie down).
