Fish Out Of WaterBy Amber on October 1st, 2009 |
Here’s the very late exercise prompt from Monday. Coincidentally, it will help with NaNoWriMo prep or could be used as an exercise in NaNoWriMo to increase your word count.
One of the unstated premises of shows like The Real World and Survivor is what happens when a person is removed from their element. As a NaNoWriMo character exercise this can reveal how your character reacts to a stressful situation. As a word count booster, it can be a dream sequence.
So what happens when a computer geek is put on the court as a professional basketball player? Or the surfer dude is in Alaska near the water but no waves? Or the earth bound human winds up on a ring of Saturn? Or the 6 foot tall man finds himself standing amongst a crowd of women who are at least 8 feet tall?
Run with it and have fun.
