I love experiments. I’m starting them every once in a while with no idea what will come out of it.

In 2013 I sent out 3 books to random people all over the world. Books with blank pages and a simple note. Everyone who gets hold of this book should write the story of their first love, their first, date, or their first kiss into this book. Just a moment in everybody’s life that made them smile when they thought back to it. Then they should pass on the books to strangers in the street, on the train, in a restaurant…wherever. When the books are full, they should be returned to me. Unfortunately, the books never came back. The first few people who wrote something into them sent me notes. But one day, the notes stopped and the books have never been seen again… It’s a shame.

However, that doesn’t stop me from coming up with new thing to try. And here’s my latest idea:

I would like to start a book. I give you a theme and write the first chapter. Then I pass it on to one of you who’d like to write another little part of that book. Maybe an entire chapter even, but no more. When you’re done and happy, you send it back to me, I edit it and send it out to the next in line.

What do you think? Could this be fun? You don’t have to be an author to work with me on this book. You only have to be up for some fun.

I’m going to create a new page on my website where I’ll post the story for everyone to read. This is the only condition you have to agree to.

If you’d like to write a book with me, leave a comment. We shall see how many of you are taking on that challenge.
