See the new Snippets board yet? This exercise is based off of that.
1.) Open your handy dandy dictionary (which I'm sure you all own) to a random page. Scan it for a word you think would be good to base a scene off of.
2.) Write this scene. It doesn't have to be long.
3.) Try to think of a few more words similar to the first one, and write scenes based off of them. Use a thesaurus and go on a word treasure hunt through it if you have to.
4.) Take all these scenes and try to change/weave them together into a short story, or use them as inspiration for a short story.
