My first NaNo book (2002) began with a first sentence and a last sentence, and I filled in the stuffing in between. Take one of the sentence pairs below and write a creative piece with the same rule (or make up your own! :)).
PAIR A Start: He could have been forgiven for the broken china, if it had only come sooner. End: In the end, she knew that the walls would never come clean again -- but it didn't matter.
PAIR B Start: The church was a musty one, an old style single-room building that stood by itself in an otherwise barren plain. End: "Well," she chortled, patting him on the back, "at least that's one less badger in the world."
PAIR C Start: I can't remember the first time I met him very clearly, but I do know there was a chill in the air, and I could see my breath. End: He turned and left me there, in the crossroads; as he faded towards the horizon, I said, beneath my breath, "Thank you, sir, and God bless."
PAIR D Start: The thing about boomerangs is, you can't ever really throw one away, because it just keeps coming back. End: "Gerald, my friend, that's the point, that's the entire point right there." |
