Boze­man writer Ray Siko­rski, the cur­rent orga­nizer of the ven­er­a­ble Fool­ish Words writ­ing event, has given his per­mis­sion to repost the 2009 story here on the Con­sor­tium of the Cre­ative Nudge.

For those of you who don’t know, Fool­ish Words is a chain writ­ing event. One per­son starts the story, writes 200 to 400 words, and then passes it on to the next writer. These writ­ers are affec­tion­ately known as the Fools, and this year there are more than 30 of them. The event cul­mi­nates on April 1 when the Fools gather at the Leaf & Bean in down­town Boze­man to read the story aloud.

You can read more at the offi­cial Fool­ish Words site, run by Ray, and you can read the fin­ished prod­uct both there and at the consortium’s newest project site: http://foolish.creativenudge.org.
