Exercise #782: Craft
Posted  11/2/18

Today’s exercise comes from Tara and deals with plotting.

Tara said, “How about ‘a day in the life of....’ Taking a normal everyday occurrence and turning it into a story.”

So there it is. Turn an everyday occurrence into a plotline. Your SUB should be a complete story, or you may give us an essay on how you created a plot from something ordinary.

Critiquers, along with the usual technical critique, you might answer these questions:
     * Was this piece helpful to you as a writer?
     * Why or why not?

Please note the higher word limit.

Word limit: 2000
Please use the subject line
       SUB: Exercise #782/yourname.
