I have heard that the Japanese have a tradition of painting or drawing one picture by a number of different people. Everyone in a group draws just one line on the picture every day. Only one line is permitted by any one person in any one day. I don't know when the end of the picture arrives - perhaps it is a month later - perhaps it is when everyone has drawn a line.
If we have some Japanese people perhaps they could tell us when the name of the tradition is?
I would be glad to take part, but I am not artistic so my contribution would be one of the weaker ones, I think.

The same thing could be applied to poetry or a piece of prose. A sentence or a paragraph a day from each person who wants to contribute?

Oooohhh that really sounds like something for me. We do have Bob the coachroach of course. But at that you can write as little or much you want to.
Something with a strict rule to it would be great!!! :classic:
