My pen name is Joe Wing and I went through a profound transformation in my life. I had always been a fan of transformation, and this one was the most radical one so far.
I moved into a new country and I removed myself from my previous life, by deleting my social media accounts and going without internet, phone, or any communication for a few months.
When I decided to get back online, I didn't feel to speak immediately with anyone I knew already. But I still felt a profound need to share my process.
So I downloaded an new app into my phone, and there I challenged a few strangers to become vulnerable. I sent them the following message:
"Hi there Stranger! I would like to make an experiment of writing each other, as if we would be writing our personal diary.
The rules:
- we must be totally open and honest as if it would be a normal diary;
- we should write every day for at least one week;
- we must remain anonymous for each other so we can be totally safe to share anything we feel.
Are you up for it?
Warm regards,
Joe"
A small group accepted the challenge and so I started to share with these people my story, as they shared theirs with me.
Many of us were profoundly touched by this experience, and it is our wish to open the door for others who might feel to do the same.
So I decided not to write it as a classical book. It was decided to create a new literary gender, where you participate actively with the author in the creation of a new chapter of your life. One that hopefully brings you into a much closer connection to your soul.
I am in wattpad to try out this concept.
So, this is the moment I extend the challenge to you.
The rules are simple:
1) We must be totally open and honest, as if it were a normal diary
2) We must write every day for at least 7 days;
3) We shall remain absolutely anonymous to each other so that we can share absolutely anything we feel.
Would you like to share a diary with me for the next days?

A new way of reading a book, is to write it as you read. https://www.wattpad.com/story/161180098View all Conversations
