Writing Journal—Wednesday writing prompt

A storm catches your protagonist off guard, forcing him to seek shelter. Where is he and where does he go? Describe the scene, and layer the weather elements with rich, sensory details. 

  

One Stop for Writers

Write the scene of discovery (i.e., tell a story), or brainstorm and create a list of related ideas.

Here’s five story elements to consider:

  • Character
  • Setting
  • Plot
  • Conflict
  • Resolution

Never forget, writing is a process. The first draft is always a mess.

The first draft of anything is shit.
