A Good Day for a Writing Prompt

Almost Everyone loves a good writing prompt, but sometimes there are just too few of them. Think you don't have what it takes? No worries, this prompt is just for you. This is legitimately serious.

Take any given character that you have and put them at dinner with their family. Regardless of what their family is like. Just see what happens. Sometimes human beings are their fundamental selves only at a dinner table. Try it, I dare you.

You'll be the next Stephen King.

This exercise is deceptively difficult. Give yourself 60 seconds or even less, now describe all of the important aspects of your story.

Now, subtract 10 seconds, and do it again.

Subtract it until you have 10 seconds left. Now, you have the core of your tale. The thing you can tell anyone. Or you Have an extremely fast voice. Win win either way.

Writing Exercise! The perfect one.
