The Word Improv Community is a writing community united by our passion for writing and a common challenge: Word Improv.  A Word Improv challenge is where participants write a “Story” using a set of “new” words.  A “Story” is broadly defined to include a tale, poem, skit, etc.  There is no character minimum or limit.  You can learn new words and participate in Word Improv, as well as in the Pass-the-Baton interviews by following @WordSleuth on Instagram!

Pass-the-Baton Interview # 21 is the twenty-first in a series of Instagram Live interviews where contributors to our Word Improv challenges interview one another so that our community and audience learns about Word Improv writers and their work.
