Pass-the-Baton Interview # 29 is the twenty-ninth in a series of Instagram Live interviews where contributors to Word Improv challenges (by @wordsleuth) interview one another so that the Word Improv community and our audience learn about Word Improv writers and their work. The interviewee for one interview becomes the interviewer for the next! (hence, “Pass-the-Baton”).
A Word Improv challenge is where participants are asked to incorporate a set of six “difficult” words into a broadly defined “story”, which includes a short story, poem, skit, song, etc. Participants include authors, poets, screenwriters and anyone else who is a storyteller of some kind. Each challenge kicks off after a set of six words is posted (over a period of several days) on the @wordsleuth page.
