Katzaniel Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 We've done this sort of thing before. If you're looking to write something short to stretch your writing muscles, or you want to write something longer but don't know where to begin... it can help to take some random but juicy items and try to fit them together somehow. If you use up one of these, please post it in its own thread wherever it belongs (probably the Assembly Room), please put up a link here, and make an attempt to come up with other items for someone else to use. If you use an already-used collection, or you only use 3 items, or you just pop in and add a collection without writing... whatever! Collection #1: a light bulb, an interestingly-shaped cloud, a wet shoe, and a missing cell phone Collection #2: a empty or mostly empty notebook, an echo, a rusty wrench, and a water bottle Collection #3 (Probably-Fantasy Edition): a skeleton, a faded coin, a campfire song and a shield as big as a person Collection #4 (Sci-Fi Edition): gravity boots, a mostly empty phaser, a bitter cop, and a very thin rope Collection #5: a hedgehog, a yellow coat, a secret passageway and a handlebar mustache Bonus points if you write a story for every single one of these (by which I meant 5 stories, but 1 is even more impressive).
