Story Starter #1 - Objects

This is a writing prompt swap, the first in a series that we'll do and is based on the book "Story Starters." See below for author info.

Write a scene or a story using any one of the following prompts:

a) Under a drawer liner, your character finds a letter, yellowed with age.

b) Your character slept with a 30-year-old teddy bear

c) Your character kept the secret in his toolbox.

Send two partners a typed copy of your scene or story.

SPECIAL NOTE:

This swap is based on exercises in a great book that I encourage you to read, especially those who love writing prompts.

"Story Starters" by Lou Willett Stanek, Ph.D. ISBN 0-380-79552-3

The sub-title of the book is: "How to jump-start your imagination, get your creative juices flowing, and start writing your story or novel."

I bought it several years ago, so I'm not sure if there's an updated edition, but that's the ISBN on my copy.
