Judy Zarowny
Across the top of the piece of paper
provided, each person will write very brief answers to statement #1, fold it
over so it can’t be seen, and pass the paper to the next person, who will write
something from statement #2, fold it over and pass it on, and so on to #9 on
this page. When the papers are full, the
one you end up with is your writing prompt.
1. Write the name of a would be protagonist,
and descriptive one or two word answers to the following—gender, age, physical
appearance and condition, current emotional state, job, religious affiliation,
financial status.
2.
Give one word descriptions of a place, where the action in the story is
taking place—interior, exterior, castle, hovel, city countryside, foreign
country or domestic setting, mountains, desert, forest, underground, space
ship, at sea, blah, blah, blah etc.
3.
State when this is taking place; past, present future, time of day,
month or season, flash back.
4.

item, or a personality flaw or a recent tragedy.
5. Describe a crisis or emergency happening
in the setting, or a challenge regarding the setting.
6.

7.

8.

masterpiece.
