How it started… from fb post of Ebony Evans
Hereโs where it all started. Men wearing rompers was all over social media and I thought the trend was both stupid and hilarious. Shortly before this trend, EyeCU Reading & Social Network had recently branched out to our online book club, EyeCU Reading & Chatting, and I was trying to come up with a way to engage our readers and authors to have them interact. One day driving to work, the idea came to me to challenge our authors to freestyle stories on a trendy topic. I WAS SUPER GEEKED UP! I called Kaylynn and asked what she thought of the idea and she thought it was DOPE! In addition, she thought it could possibly help writers get their juices flowing. Thatโs all I needed to hear. From then I reached out to a few authors and it was on and popping!
When we first started, Author Kaylynn Hunt would write the first story and then tag/pass the pen to the author she wanted to write next, and so on and so forth. Kaylynn has since started a new page so her original story isnโt included here but, you get the idea. And as you can see Renee was one of the first authors to write and Kenya in the following week. For about 6 months straight, I used to blow these ladies inboxes up before it caught on. I went from reaching out to authors to write each week to authors reaching out to me. And 6 years later and look at us now! Making EyeCU Reading & Chatting Freestyle History
