- 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: Write THAT Story! Yes, But How Do I Do That? 2:56
Hello to you listening in Halmsted, Sweden!
Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Â
For those who have followed my global podcast for over 4 years you know that Fridays are all about Story Prompts. It’s an opportunity for you to “Write THAT Story!” based on your ideas and creativity after listening to the episode, the question, and the prompt. But what if you don’t know how to begin?
At its most basic a story is 3 parts: beginning, middle and end. But you knew that, right?
What you might not know is my storyteller secret: a story is something was (beginning) + something happened (middle) + something is (end).
3-Step Tip: Step 1: Enjoy 15 minutes of free writing just to get your creativity going. Step 2: Start your story at the end, the place where something is as a result of what happened, what came before. Now you have a conclusion, a finale, a resolution to write toward. It’s like having a goal or a destination. Step 3: Once you have a sense about where you’re headed, your task is to get there.
Story Prompt: 3 parts to a story, 3 steps to how to create it. Write that story! Â Â
