So, I am trying to do the exercise in Your Writing Coach by Jurgen Wolff.
The chapter that I am doing is 4, which concerns about generating ideas or an endless of ideas.
One of the tools that is used to train our brains to come out with ideas is the story generator game. Refer to page 49.
So here we go.
Genre: Romance
Parent: Reporter
Second person: Priest
Emotion: Greed
Location: Delhi
So, how do we create a story out of this?
A reporter has been despatched to Delhi to cover a story about a new church being built amidst slums in Delhi. There, she meets a priest who was in charge of overseeing the development of the church. The priest is greed person. The money received from the foundation who funds the church is always used to satisfy the priest's unnecessary spendings. Thus, the project is delayed for years, as the priest continuously asks for more funding and money. The reporter realises this and tries to write a piece about it. But the priest knows the reporter's intention and hires a killer to assassinate the reporter. As the fate turns out, the assassin falls in love with the reporter. Their romance blossoms. Later, to her horror, the reporter realises that her lover is actually an assassin hired to kill her.
It should be a 5-minute rule. And I think I have exceeded that. Maybe I'll try doing another one later!
Anyway, need to learn more about active and passive sentences. Feels so unnatural when reading that.
