...Write a story from a real-life experience you had this weekend. Start it there, anyway. Just recount something that actually happened in full and compelling sensory detail. Then here's the trick: look for an opportunity to jump off from what actually happened and, when that opportunity presents itself, POUNCE! Introduce a new character, a new setting, whatever. The idea is to start from the "truth" and to then bend it (like Beckham) into the "truth of fiction."
...Write a story that has a small blue stone in it.
...Pore over your cache of prompts and expand on one.
