Hello! I’m back again, with another Action Item! This week’s item is upping the stakes (if you actually have the book, you will know that I’ve skipped a few. I might get them later).
So, the gist of this is that you have to write a situation where the stakes-that is, the conflict in a scene. The example given in the book is that, you’re driving along and you spill coffee on your white shirt. As you try to clean it, you forget to stop at a red light. This causes you to crash into another person’s car, shattering the taillights of it in the process. The other driver comes out, and you realize he is carrying a baseball bat. And so on. Try to create something like this. It can actually be kinda funny!
I’m hoping you’ll be creative, or, if not that, enjoy my response to this. Also of note: I’ll give you an update on the thought of the week on Wensday. And a response to this by Tuesday. Probably.
