I just came across this blog: http://oneminutewriter.blogspot.com/
The main idea is to get people to spend at least one minute, everyday, writing something (preferably creative writing). There is a new prompt every day, and you can read the prompt and comment on the post by spending one minute responding to it. Its not a bad way to make writing practice a part of your daily life- although I'm sure at least some of you spend far more than just a minute per day on writing. But maybe if one of these days you want to make a post and don't know what to write about, you can use this website to find an interesting topic.
Today's prompt is:
Listen
Listen. Write about what you hear, right now.
If you have a minute, give it a try.

Welcome to the blog. Keep posting!
Hello! This is a blog for and about a group of Narrative Practitioners in Moscow. Post your thoughts here. If you come across an interesting article or movie and want to write a review, this is the place to do it. Maybe you traveled somewhere and really enjoyed the experience- let others know about it here. Perhaps you found an interesting podcast or video that helps explain some English grammar point or pronunciation. This is the place to tell each other about that too. Want to get feedback on an article or workshop abstract before you submit it for a conference? Use your peers as a sounding board here. In short: anything and everything is fair game, as long as it's in English :)
Note: Instead of having different blogs for each group that wants to give blogging a try, I have decided to allow all Narrative Practitioners working with me to access this one blog. Thus, we have several levels of English language skills among the future posters. I believe that this will be helpful in learning from our peers. If anyone has a problem with that, send me an e-mail and we could discuss it and perhaps set up different blogs per group after all.
