<div>okay guys, here it is, I'm going to post the excersize challenges for creativeWriters_101 on the rest of the lists as well. if you would like join us on that list and delve deeper into writing techneques you can find the list at
<a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CreativeWriting_101">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CreativeWriting_101</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>One way authors get inspired to write is when something clicks in a normal day to day occurance. A life experience, if you will. Your challenge is to place your characters (original or fandom) in a common setting and build a special moment.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Example: </div>
<div>going to the dentist</div>
<div>sitting at a bus stop</div>
<div>a trip to the store</div>
<div>a private moment at church</div>
<div>an unexpected pregnancy</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ask yourself:</div>
<div>Why is your character there</div>
<div>How is this time different from usual</div>
<div>(Give them some sort of conflict)</div>
<div>How is the situation resolved</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Be sure to make use of </div>
<div>emotion</div>
<div>senses (taste, smell, sight, touch, hearing)</div>
<div>pay attention to the scene<br clear="all"></div>
<div> </div>
<div>okay that's it. Remember, these are only suggestions. If something else touches your muse, go for it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>no time limit but try to give 15-20 minutes, you can do as many scenes as you would like for this exercize, </div>
<div> </div>
