Looking for Ideas!

in #creativewriting7 years ago (edited)

When I first joined Steemit, I wasn't sure what sort of things I would write about. So far, I have relied heavily on photos to get me started. Now I would like to try something else: I would like whoever reads this to reply with one sentence which I can use to start a short story. I will do my best to come up with something creative for each suggestion, but reserve the right to skip over any ideas that leave me baffled. No profanity or vulgarity, please.

Thank you in advance for your opening-sentence ideas! If I get enough of them, this could keep me busy for quite some time.

Sort:  

Fun idea!

"Looking back, she wished she had stayed in bed that day."

"A couple days" did I say? How about three months? I finally used your opening line for a short story Thank you, and I apologize for the delay!

Stay tuned...this may take a couple of days! Thanks for the idea!

Try adding #writing, #story, #fun, and #fiction. Delete the #ideas tag. You can click here for a list of the popular tags on Steemit, and sort by the various columns.

Opening line: "Billy had never seen anything like this before."

Okay, I finally wrote a short story using your opening line!

Thank you for the tagging suggestions! That aspect of Steemit has puzzled me a bit. Your recommended tags have been added to my original post.

"The hole in her sock, while a seemingly innocuous thing, had quite a story to tell."

Um, maybe I should apologize, but that was the first thing that popped into the old cranium, and I have faith that you will do marvels with that bit of prose!!

Thank you for the idea! I will tackle that "soon."
