Writer In Motion started out as an idea for writers to draft a short story from a prompt and show their entire revision process by blogging about it as they went. It was such a huge success, we’re now gearing up for our fourth season, and you’re invited to write along.

Step 2: Get your writing on

- Read and provide feedback for other writers’ stories
- Post each version as you revise and write a little something about your process each week (either on your personal blog or in our Forum)
