We all like to wonder, "What if?"
Writing fiction is fun because we can speculate, muse, be curious, puzzle, imagine, play, and make believe---all ways of saying that we can wonder, "What if?"
Try writing a story with a "what if" question as a starting point. Where does the question lead your imagination?
- What if a tiger walked into your bedroom?
- What if you invented a new kind of umbrella that earned you $1,000,000?
- What if it rained so hard that your house went down the river and landed in the next town--a town filled only with cats?
- What if you woke up and your entire family turned into erasers?
- What if you had three ears?
- What if you ate breakfast for dinner, dinner for lunch, and lunch for breakfast?
- What if the entire world was yellow?
- What if you watched movies on the bottoms of your shoes?
- What if your yard turned into Sea World?
- What if you found a taco that talked?
Have fun with your "what if" story. "What if" you wrote one today?
