Exercise #1019: Ten Words
Posted 1/26/24

Use these ten (four-letter) words in your SUB:

give
keep
home
over
open
four
pick
game
read
loan

Do your best to make your piece tell a story. "Extra credit" for using the words in the order given and/or doing this exercise in 75 words or less.

Critiquers, this one will be more difficult as authors tend to run short on their SUBs. Likely the best approach to these is the Wildacres Seven Steps Technique.
