If you've been reading my Once Upon a Time Project blog, you'll know I finished my initial challenge of "never a day without a line" or "nulla dies sine linea" and I followed up with using the 38 pageant questions I have for my public speaking students as inspiration for writing even more story beginnings. So... now what?
I have more pageant questions! These, however, are not questions I've used in class because they were either potential too difficult to answer, too weird, or too much like another question. I have found using them as inspiration to be a lot of fun, so I think I'll keep trying!
Looking back on what I've written is a little freaky for me. It's like finding the box of your papers from high school or college and reading them, thinking, "I wrote this? I wrote this? Well, good for me! I wonder what I was talking about..." I will be going back and picking out story starts where I had an inkling of where it might lead and trying to craft full stories. I usually run into trouble when I start doing that, which is why this blog has been so perfect for me: I don't need to finish! Ha ha! Take that, imagination and persistence! I can stop when you both peter out!
You, Brilliant Reader, should be a part of this. If you are actually bothering to read this self-absorbed blog, why not comment and let me know which stories you wished would continue? If you do, I will try!
As always, thank you...whoever you are...who accidentally came here and stayed to read. You're beautiful.
