1st Exercise

Ok, so I'm a few days late on the update. Yeah "follow up tomorrow" didn't happen.

Ok here's the 1st Exercise is from a book called "Storymaking" that I used in my Story Writing Class.

In our first exercise our teacher gave us a scenario from which we had to create a detailed account, using no plot, or character development or any author intonation of inner thoughts. Basically a beginning to end record of events.

So this first exercise is an exercise is writing in great detail to help the reader visualize the world the author has created in their piece.

in class we were given the scenario "Man Walks Out..." We then were given his destination which was the door of a woman. It didn't matter the woman's age, nor the man's age, nor his purpose, just him walking out of his house and arriving at the woman's door.

So in this post, what I want from all of you, is to give me a similar situation. Anything that could give me a starting point and an end point. Make the first action very mundane, or at least giving no details to me. I will then write a beginning to end account of whatever it is you give me with nothing but physical details of events and scenery and such. And then the end make it as simple as "arriving at door" as in the classroom exercise.


Looking forward to all your suggestions. note: I may end up doing multiple if I get a lot of responses. No promises though. :)
