What do you guys think?

I had an idea today for a collaborative project.

Basically, it would be a blank book, sent from person to person. When you got it, you would write about something that brings/brought you joy. Then, you would send it on to someone else. There wouldn't be any set list, so you could send it to someone who you thought needed to read the stories already in it or to someone who you knew had a great story to add.

There wouldn't be any rules about what sorts of stories to tell. If your story is three sentences about the beautiful moon-rise you watched last month, go ahead and write that. If it's thirteen pages about how you met your beloved, go ahead and write it.

The one thing I can't figure out is what to do with the book once it's full.

Is this something that folks would be interested in participating in? Any suggestions or comments?

That's kind of a neat idea. Perhaps when it's full it could be sent to a nursing home or some similar place? Just a thought. Along the same lines.....my Grandmother and I used a blank book for our correspondence. I wrote in it first and sent it to her then she wrote her response to me in it and sent it back to me and on and on it went. Such a beautiful thing to have to pass down through the family. Unfortunately she died when Heather was about two and the book hasn't surfaced yet (she had it last) but still.....

That's a great idea for what to do at the end!
