Hey #sensationalWIP'ers ~

I'm using my Typhoon Day to mull over ideas for November's game, and I think I'd like to do something that helps people develop their WIP. What sort of developmental questions would you be most interested in?

[✨ sensationalWIP ✨ @sensationalWIP]

#sensationalWIP Day11

Thinking of the answers to your previous questions (rather than the characters' personalities), what instruments would you assign to your protagonist and antagonist for this duet? Why?

#WritingCommunity #WritingGames #NoWriteWay

#sensationalWIP Day10

What colors or textures would you use for the dancers' costumes if the dance in your previous answer was ever performed?

#WritingCommunity #WritingGames #NoWriteWay

[✨ sensationalWIP ✨ @sensationalWIP]

#sensationalWIP Day9

If you were to stage the dance you told us about in yesterday's answer, what sort of scenery or stage props would you use? What do they represent?

#WritingCommunity #WritingGames #NoWriteWay

[✨ sensationalWIP ✨ @sensationalWIP]

#sensationalWIP Day8

Picture the exposition (rather than the actual plot) of your WIP as a dance between your antagonist & protagonist, as if their backstory was a piece of performance art. What would this dance look like?

#WritingCommunity #WritingGames #NoWriteWay

[✨ sensationalWIP ✨ @sensationalWIP]

#sensationalWIP Day6

Share a few lines from the opening of your WIP which pair well with the song you chose. (If you prefer not to share your writing, consider sharing a song-based aesthetic instead!)

#WritingCommunity #WritingGames #NoWriteWay

[✨ sensationalWIP ✨ @sensationalWIP]

#sensationalWIP Day6

Today's a fun one! Find a song in the genre you chose yesterday to represent the opening of your WIP. Bonus points for sharing a link! If the song has lyrics, which line is most relevant?

#WritingCommunity #WritingGames #NoWriteWay

[✨ sensationalWIP ✨ @sensationalWIP]

#sensationalWIP Day5

Based on all of your previous answers (rather than on personal taste) what genre of music best represents the opening of your WIP? Why?

#WritingCommunity #WritingGames #NoWriteWay

[✨ sensationalWIP ✨ @sensationalWIP]

#sensationalWIP Day4

Putting together your answers to the previous questions - sound, color, & movement - what texture would you assign your opening? Does it have temperature? Does that match the temp of the color palette you chose?

#WritingCommunity #WritingGames #NoWriteWay

[✨ sensationalWIP ✨ @sensationalWIP]

#sensationalWIP Day3

Think now about the plot of your opening. If you had to describe its movement as a shape, what shape would you choose? Is the movement itself fast or slow?

#WritingCommunity #WritingGames #NoWriteWay

[✨ sensationalWIP ✨ @sensationalWIP]

#sensationalWIP Day2

What color would you assign to the instrument you chose yesterday? Is it a warm or cool color? How does this fit into the overall color scheme of the beginning of your WIP?

#WritingCommunity #WritingGames #NoWriteWay

[✨ sensationalWIP ✨ @sensationalWIP]

#sensationalWIP Day1

Think of the opening of your WIP as a solo with accompaniment. Which character is most prominently featured? What instrument would you say best represents them?

Hello, #sensationalWIP 'ers! It's so exciting to be back!

A quick reminder about this particular hashtag #WritingGame before we start:

These questions are deliberately abstract and challenging. Remember to be creative with them and to have fun!
