If you have a writing partner and you can’t meet in person consider writing tennis. This is a game you can play online via email or Google chat where you write one line and then your partner writes the next, lobbing the story back and forth over your cyber net. It’s a fun warm-up and a way of maintaining connections while drinking hot chocolate and never having to wipe the snow off your wind shield, top up the wiper fluid and shovel the driveway. It’s a game I will introduce in my course this winter at Ryerson University’s Chang School of Continuing Education, just for fun. No snowboots required!
