It's fun to name characters in a story, but it's also fun to name things in your story.
In this exercise, name the following things and imagine the stories they might go in. When you come up with a story idea you love, write the story!
- a desert town
- a disease that's just been discovered
- a diner
- quadruplets
- a combination laundromat and beauty salon
- a new diet soda
- a summer cottage
- a rock band
- a circus
- a tree house
- a parking garage
- a shoe store
Here's my idea for a desert town named Crazy Rock: A girl who's lived near the ocean all her life moves to Crazy Rock, a town of 100 people in the Arizona desert. She misses the water so much, she decides to find a way to bring a bit of the ocean to her new home....
Excuse me while I go write the story. Try naming the things above and finding your own idea for a story!
