. Impromptu Challenge.. Round Robin Fill In The Blank Free For All
Earlier today I posted a prompt for What If?, and wrote a few lines about my own lack of stories lately. I don't know if others are experiencing a lost muse, or have recently found one after a dry spell. For me it's a combination of more hours at work, a renewed enthusiasm for my artwork, and not wanting to sit down at a computer after I get home.
I started thinking about my weak points where writing is concerned. I do pretty well when it comes to exploring the emotional state of the characters, or getting them into their missions. What I'm not good at, or at least consistent, is describing the environment. I seem to skip over details sometimes, like the color of the sky or the smells and noises around them. And that got me to thinking...
Perhaps we could do something that is centered around what is missing.
I'm going to start things off by providing a bare bones narrative. If you want to participate and start adding the details then copy my page onto a new post and start filling in. When you're done, post it for the next person to fill in where they see a hole. More than one person can take it from the beginning and post their version. Once you post it's fair game for someone else to add to what you have done.
Here goes...
The assignment handed to Solo and Kuryakin was going to be easier than normal, or so it seemed. The Russian was already dreaming of a quick trip out and then a weekend at home to do nothing but eat his favorite foods and listen to some music.
Napoleon had a date lined up that he just might be able to keep. The thought of the new blonde in Translations would keep him warm as they traveled up north.
Alexander Waverly looked at his two top operatives and wondered if they had any idea what was waiting for them.
Okay, that's it. This isn't exactly a Round Robin, but this is definitely only an introduction to what should be a longer story. Details can be added as well as whatever comes next.
Ready... Set... Write!
