Just to remind you (especially tc) that we're approaching the beginning of Feb. and to show you this www.webcom.com/wordings/artofwrite/storystarter.html

Phew! that took a lot of concentration - hope it works!

A bientôt

I love it! Except, does anybody know what a sky writer (my main charactrs occupation) is? Am I just being ignorant?

So here I go. It tells me that:

My main character/protagonist is a female. My main character is a motivational speaker. An archetype present in my story is Woodsman. A key object or symbol in my story is a freezer. My story will be set in a space colony. My story is about confusion.

Sounds like a winner to me!!!

John

This is what I got. How jolly!

My main character/protagonist is a female. My main character is a talent scout. An archetype present in my story is Skeleton. A key object or symbol in my story is a wheelchair. My story will be set in a cabin in the mountains. My story is about death.

Briliant! That's gone straight onto my list of favourites. Here's what I got...

My main character/protagonist is a male. My main character is a travel agent. An archetype present in my story is Tempter/Temptress. A key object or symbol in my story is a gold pocket watch. My story will be set in a laundry mat. My story is about liberty.

Got great potential although a doormat in a laundry seems a little restricted. Perhaps I'll have to take artistic licence and extend onto the rest of the floor...

ee.
It's Friday so smilies are allowed. Oops... got to go to work. See y'all tonight over a rather nice bottle of red.
Gawd... it's 7.30 in the morning and I'm thinking about booze already! It's been a long week!

I think I prefer your story to mine! Maybe I'll have another go. Great idea though, isn't it? See you later...hic!

Sue

Yeah, Dee definately got a good deal (as usual!!) Reminds me of that Levis ad. You know the one girls?

Sue, didn't you read the spiel about it being random and you have to accept the challenge... Anyway, yours already exists, it's called Heidi, funny that, you being a children's writer n all...

As for John's...

Swandale, I've no idea what a sky writer is either

Isn't a sky writer someone who flies a plane trailing smoke and writes messages in the sky with the smoke?

have a look at http://www.acez.com/skywriter.htm

... or even better http://pbskids.org/jayjay/index.html

My main character/protagonist is a female. My main character is an entomologist. An archetype present in my story is Thief. A key object or symbol in my story is an earring. My story will be set in a library. My story is about illusion.

Woah, Elspeth. What a great website! I've got a story already!

Perhaps a good idea would be to incorporate the first line of the RLG into whichever story each individual is given when hitting the start button on that website.

Oh, the possibilities!!

What do you think RLG'ers?

Or has someone suggested this already?...I got so excited by the website I didn't read the posts before posting this...

Sue!

I think yours is great! Go on gurl, give it a go!

Wow...lots of exc!amation marks!

Thanks Jumbo, Snuffy the Skywriter it is, a female aeroplane as my main character. Only problem is, it's supposed to take place in an attic...maybe a remote control plane?

I can't decide whose story I like best. Sue's has the most possibilities I think, a skeleton and a wheelchair in a mountain cabin could go anywhere, might be a bit morbid though!

John - a woodsman in a space colony? I think confusion is taken as read!

Sam

oh all right then. sulk sulk. i still like the other ones better..... ;(

This is what I got.

My main character/protagonist is a female. My main character is a florist. An archetype present in my story is Fisherman. A key object or symbol in my story is a freezer. My story will be set in a barbarshop. My story is about loyalty.

I thought I was doing all right until I got to the barbarshop, when I realised it had to be a children's story. I can't see any other way to fit in talking bipedal elephants. *removes tongue from cheek*

Cas

Hee hee. The fisherman, with wild hair, brings the florist an elephant steak, instead of the usual weekly friday fish, for her to put into her freezer? Fisherman gets hair cut at Jumbo's barber shop and the florist then recognises him as her long lost love who has remained in her heart for the last ten years. At least you get a bit of humour with yours!!! Good fun though.
Sue

I'm sorry? Did anyone ask my permission to use my name as an Elephants' Hairdressers?

Never been so insulted!
