About

Welcome to Paris Underground, a place for creative writers to celebrate each other's work. This isn't for tourists. This isn't for your cameras and your maps. This isn't for your travel journal. This is for your journal. This is for the commuters who ride the tracks daily. This is for those who didn't take the time to glance at the Eiffel Tower today because they were too busy reading the paper.

Here's to the forgotten ones.

A backstory:

Paris Underground is a creative writing blog designed for previous Lone Peak High School Creative Writing students, and anyone else. It's not curated by Mr. Nelson or affiliated with LPHS. 

Recently, the amount of creative writing bloggers who are, for whatever the reason, not in the official class, has sky rocketed. This has left an odd gap between student and blogger. Previously, there were little enough blogger's who fell into this gap that there was an "Other Writers" section on the official blog. Then, #Summer Blogs went live in May 2014, for all students who wanted to keep writing out of class, and was surprisingly flooded with graduated students. It was originally supposed to go offline at the start of the 14'-15' school year, but due to the overwhelming amount of writers, it had to stay live to accommodate them, turned into a life boat.

Paris Underground is the solution.

How it works:

• There’s a new prompt every Monday. Write about it, or don’t. The prompts aren’t required by any means.
• There’s a Shoutout every Friday, featuring a randomly selected blog with links and a short bio about it. If you keep up on your email, your blog could be selected. You’ll be asked to say a few words about it.
• Nobody picks favorites. There's no "Top Writers" or "Popular Posts". It's up to you to explore this world.
• Publicly sharing your name and identity is not required. It’s totally up to you. Both have pros and cons. You can use your previous pen name or blog if you have one.
• Paris Underground is designed to keep you writing. Only the 25 most recent blogs are featured on the writer's list. A full list of writers can be found here.
