Another way to do ad-libs is by asking these questions and filling in the storyline.
Once upon a time...
And everyday...
Until that day...
Because of this...
And because of this...
Until finally...
And ever since that day...
Try out this formula for this idea. See if it works. Comment on it and tell me if it's a better format for starting a story.
Wow, where do you get the great images?
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, and inside a place, near a thing and after some stuff happened, a huge log was there. It sat and sat, sitting for a long time. Until it sat some more. A lot of stuff happened in the world, but the log sat and sat hard. If anyone knew that the log was there, they didn't tell me, because I finally just became aware of it sitting for a long time. Don't even get me started on this log. There is so much to say.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm only getting started. The log was like most logs, formerly a tree. It appeared to have fallen, possibly knocked down by a cave troll or a giant sloth... at least, that's how I imagine it happened. Mossy and mildewy, the old log smelled of must and mold with a strong tinge of swamp. I knew it was trying to get me to sit on it, but I chose not to do so. These are new pants, after all. Speaking of my pants... don't even get me started.
