New Year, New Challenge: 10 sentence or less stories!
« on: January 01, 2021, 01:49:20 PM »
Here's something fun to get everyone's creativity turning!  Your challenge, should you choose to accept it is as follows:

1. In 10 sentences or less, tell a story! Let's keep it short, people!

2. As this is not meant to be a frustrating exercise in creativity and brevity, your story idea comes from The Story Starter. It will give you some weird sentences like "The heartless rose grower trimmed the bush near the ballroom for the dentist." You can either incorporate this sentence into the writing or just use it as the catalyst for the idea.

3. Make it easy and let something else choose your characters! I present to you The BSB Fanfic Character Spinner! You're welcome.

That's it. Do it as many times as you want. Happy 10 sentence stories.

*A note: I haven't tried it yet, so if 10 sentences ends up feeling a smidgen too short, we can adjust that number.

People think it would be fun to be a bird because you could fly. But they forget the negative side, which is the preening.

You're right, that story starter does give some really weird sentences lol.

I might actually have to try and write something, I'm sure I can manage 10 sentences :)

It's like if the most random things threw up on a sentence.

Do it! Do it!
