This is a game I often play with my writing group, and although I'm not sure how it will work here, I thought we could give it a whirl.
Before reading the latest reply, think up five "answers" to various types of questions. Then go to the thread, and reply to the latest poster's questions - with your answers. After you have done that, write your own questions for the next poster.
I'll give you an example. A friend is helping me out with this, and she asked some questions for me, with no knowledge of what I had written down for my "because."
Apryl's Questions:
1. Why does Hollywood keep making such awful sequels and remakes?
2. Why doesn't anybody ever notice that Clark Kent is Superman wearing glasses?
3. Why does Kripke hate Dean so much?
4. Why don't I have any food in the house?
5. Why is the economy tanking?

Because I don't like fish sticks. Because love is blind. (  ) Because it's cold outside. Because I hate Llamas. Because I strive to persevere. Got it? Now, think of five random "because" statements. Quote my questions with the statements you thought of. (Remember, none of my answers above were planned - like I said, Apryl had no idea what I wrote!) Normally you might do this before reading the thread. My Questions1. Why won't it stop raining? 2. Why is that guy staring at me? 3. Why do cats like people who are allergic to them? 4. Why can't my stories write themselves? 5. Why do giraffes sleep standing up? |
