Play with the interaction of two characters to see if a story or poem develops.
Try these suggestions:
Two close friends are driving across the country. They begin to argue about an "old wound" neither has resolved concerning their relationship. How do the questions below relate?
A father takes his son for his first pony ride. The little fellow is frightened but the father insists gruffly that he get on the pony anyway. The animal bolts and the boy is thrown. What happens next? Use the questions.
What does he/she want?
What prevents this?
What choice is made?
What are the results or complications?
What crisis is involved?
Does the character get what he/she wants?
Has the character changed? If not, what's next?
