Waiting 2

What kind of a "waiter" are you?
How long do you wait at the doctor's office, for your appointment, before getting annoyed?
How long do you wait for a friend or business associate before leaving?
When was it the last time you got upset waiting for someone?


Write a page, nonstop.

Waiting 1

Always, we wait.
We wait for the bus, the lunch break, tomorrow, the love of our life...


What are you waiting for?


Write for five minutes non-stop.
Maybe you will find that you're waiting for something you weren't aware of before.

Raise the Stakes 5

How can you make a reader care as much about your protagonist as you do? Make him/her strong, engaging and sympathetic; know your protagonist intimately. You do know him, do you?


How can you raise the stakes? Ad another goal, another hurdle, more conflict, more tension.


Write for fifteen minutes.

Raise the Stakes 4

How can you make a reader care as much about your protagonist as you do? Make him/her strong, engaging and sympathetic; know your protagonist intimately. You do know him, do you?

What are your protagonist's goals, needs, yearnings? What is it that he/she must have, not matter what? What/who stands in the way? How much will your protagonist have to go through, to reach his goal?  


Write for ten minutes.
