How it started… from fb post of Ebony Evans

Hereโ€™s 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. Thatโ€™s 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 isnโ€™t 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 Historyโ€ผ๏ธ
