Create a story

 


Use the painting above to stimulate story ideas.

Begin with a mood:  Develop joy, frustration, intrigue or humor.

Set the stage:   What has happened?  What is about to happen?  What results?

Notice details in the environment to include:  What does the color red mean.  Name the birds and their situation.  What are the three men about to discover?

What happens at the end of the street?

What is going on behind the third window in the second story?  What does the person with the glasses say to intimidate the fellow across the table?

Why and where are the couple on the scooter going?

Add sounds, scents and tastes.

Energize your writing with questions:  "what if"  "and then what."
