Write a story that either starts happy and ends sad, or starts sad and ends happy.
That's what I usually do when I write! The first one! : )
A good place to start participating in this series of contests!
Raise at least 1 existential question in your story. You can have your characters straight out ask it, or you can be more profound and conceal it within your story.
. . . This, too, is something I normally try to do in all my longer stories! (I just need to avoid procrastinating.)
Sounds exactly like what I would say ... did we just become best friends? :D
Could be :)
My entry: Pivotal.
It'll be finished later today, 15000 words expected. I'll be updating that post. Expect a shocker ending. Freewriting.
:D
A producer asked Puccini, if the opera was going to be cut in length, can they also cut out Tosca jumping to her death?
Puccini replied: ``No, no, absolutely not, she definitely has to jump off.''
``What if Cavaradossi doesn't die in our version?''
``Even then.'' (Her cat died?)
LOL
