Once when I was young, around 8 or so, we had a garage sale. My siblings and I were killing time riding our bikes along the sidewalk and this guy stopped in. But he wasn't there to buy anything.
He went up to my mom, introduced himself and said he'd stopped because he saw us...
Ask yourself two questions:
Q1: What concrete thing does my character want? To test that their goal is concrete, it should fall into one of four categories: win, stop, escape, or retrieve. If it doesn’t, it’s not concrete enough and your external conflict will likely be too weak.
L’etat, c’est moi. “He told the crowd: ‘It was not just my home that was raided last month. It was the hopes and dreams of every citizen who I’ve been fighting for.’” https://t.co/5ErHxiZ8Xc
Sure, we like poetry. But we need more short fiction and artwork.
Remember that weird thing in the back of your drawer that you didn't know where to submit? Hey, try us.
You've got until 15th September.
