Writing Exercise 1: You have probably kicked around a few ideas for a novel, screenplay or graphic novel in the past. LIST FIVE of these PAST STORY IDEAS that already live in your head somewhere. (If you don't have old ideas, start listing new ones)
Please number each story idea and aim for a minimum of five words and a maximum of a couple sentences for each one. E.g. 1) A high school cheerleader who hunts vampires. 2) A family heads west to California to escape the Oklahoma Dust Dowl in the 1930s. 3) A humanoid duck from an earth-like planet (but with ducks as the dominant species) is transported to Los Angeles in the 1980s. If he's going to get home again, he'll have to get a job, find love with a human woman, and fight an evil inter-dimensional creature., etc.
