Prize: Bonnie Neubauer's
Story Spinner.
"Story Spinner is a colorful
handheld tool/toy that generates millions of creative writing exercises.
It's easy as 1, 2, 3.
1. Turn the three wheels
of the Spinner to get a starting phrase, a setting and words you must
use in a story.
2. Set a timer.
3. Put pen to paper and...
voila... you're writing!
Try an exercise now:
Use the starting phrase:
The power went out. Have your story take place in the woods. Use these
words in the story: Cheek, Palm Tree, Juicy. Set a timer for ten minutes...
and WRITE! You'll be amazed at the results.
Story Spinner is the ultimate
cure for writer's block, a fantastic asset for doing writing warm-ups,
a dream come true for students with writing assignments and an instant
lesson plan for teachers.
It was invented by Bonnie
Neubauer, a creative writing workshop leader, lover of words and inventor
of games. She also has a workbook of creative writing exercises waiting
to be discovered by a publisher."

Notice! I am going to let this website go soon. When the hosting expires, I am not going to renew it. I have owned this site for almost 10 years, and it's time to move on to other things. Many thanks to all of you who wrote, laughed, cried, took courses, bought books and journals, emailed with your responses to the prompts, joined and unjoined the newsletters and have stopped by at Wordpress and Twitter. There is nothing like the joy of sharing your inner self in a trusting place, so thanks for creating it. It was all of you who made this place, not me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
