Thursday's Field Trip (m)


As Maria suggested, let’s add a little “spice” to the Thursday Field Trip. This week let’s go to the gift return line at Wal-Mart and write a short scene. Think about what you would see and hear (and smell if you’re behind the big fat guy who hasn’t bathed in three weeks-LOL).

Happy writing,

Mac

Hey, that occurred to me too...


upon rereading this morning.

This exercise was great fun. Unfortunately I had just been to Wal-Mart yesterday, so I had fresh experience. AND the maxi pad thing really happened, but at a Kmart years ago...

Do you write with the story all sketched out? With the end in mind? Or do you write as it happens and then have to decide how to wrap it all up? That's how I do it most times.

Thanks for reading and your suggestions!

Would have been a nasty business...


Do they still sell Chia pets? Unfortunately I had been to a Wal-Mart yesterday, so I had fresh material :(

Have a good weekend, Eyewrite

For these mini-exercises, I just write (m)


And decide how it ends as the story unfolds. But I tend to sketch out--if only in my head--the monthly exercises. Since those exercises seem to be longer and one I spend more time working on.
