Good Adventures, This week we're playing in the Roll-A-Prompt series again. This time, I'm joined by my co-author Lisa and our friend Kristina. I picked a random set of elements from the Genre Mashup Edition, we cut to write (so you don't have to be bored while no one is talking) then come back and read. It was lots of fun. If you'd like to play along, the prompt is below. Grab some dice, roll for your elements, and write. Want to share? Comment on our YouTube channel. The prompt we use today is from our Roll-A-Prompt Writing Journal Genre Mashup Edition Character Roll 1 number Even = MC is alone Odd = Roll again for a companion Stand-up comedian Delivery driver First officer Masked horse rider Phoenix Welder IF the MC is alone, add an object Roll 1 Number Roll of pennies Embroidered slippers Drone Wedding ring Bag of dirt Syringe Scenario Roll 1 number Getting fit for a spacesuit Boss dies in the middle of a job interview Car stalls in the fast food drive-thru Light never turns off Probe is discovered drifting in space Is there a troll under that bridge? Now write and have fun! If you want to share. Comment here. See you next time. Good a good book. Melissa PS My latest is How to Square Your Grouper.
