Finish Now and then stories


Begin working on your "Run, Lola, Run" 3 ending story.


1. Start with your characters (2-6 names proper nouns). Be sure there is a protagonist (main character), an antagonist (the opposition to the main character), some secondary characters, and a real conflict.

2. Add some objects that will appear and reappear in your story (common nouns). Examples: a bicycle, an animal, a street, a briefcase, etc.

3. Add some actions (running, talking, fighting, laughing, screaming, etc.) VERBS

4. Describe some of the actions using adverbs---"ly" words (happily, sadly, cruelly, etc.)

5. Create some settings and timeframes using prepositions (over, under, beneath, above, after, before, on). Think about where and when.

6. You might want to focus on a situation: a divorce, a fight, a love triangle, a breakup, an accident, a wedding, etc.
