Here are three interesting stories that I stumbled across that I had to share. Maybe you’ll find something interesting and story worthy out of them. You gotta love the internet!
Freak Hail Storm — Freaky weather always fascinates me and what better element for creating dramatic tension is there than a dangerous storm that traps characters together, damages precious property, and causes conflict to erupt at a moment’s notice?
My Dirty Secret Writing Life — This is an interesting tale about a woman who took on an assignment as a ghostwriter for a popular teen book series and how it impacted her writing.
For many writers, writing is a secretive act. It is something we hide or don’t want anyone to know about.
The Dangers of Eyeball Licking — Why? Because the title was so weird that I HAD to look. And so will you. It is hard to believe that such a story needed to be written, but here it is.
Exercise the Muse
- Write about a bad storm that you have experienced. What did you do? How did it make you feel?
- Write a story where a storm traps characters together who desperately want to avoid each other, but have some unfinished business.
- Write about your dirty little secret.
- Write about a character with a dirty little secret that has been uncovered.Write about a stupid thing you have done. Why did you do it? Why was it stupid? Do you wish you never had done it?
- Write about something that you learned, shared or did, and had no idea that it was dangerous or hazardous to your health. What was it? Why did it not seem like a big deal to you at the time?
