Write about newlyweds! Describe the couple and how they feel. Do they share the same feelings? Thoughts? Maybe they’re complete opposites. Are they happy together? Perhaps one is using the other for something. What? Money, security, to get closer to their second cousin, twice removed? Be creative.

“I had the lonely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated and undervalued. I knew that I had a facility with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.”

Write about a van. What does it look like? Make it as wild—or plain—as you want. Who owns it and how do they use it? Maybe it’s a teen’s van, and they hang out with their friends in it or bring a date; try thinking That 70’s Show. Perhaps the van is used for pizza delivery or even dog grooming.

“Some authors are all afraid of having opinions. That by saying they vote Democrat or go to Church every Sunday or they prefer Carolina barbecue over Texas barbecue that they’ll collapse their delicate little author platform (which is clearly made of fragile bird bones) and end up alienating the audience. I urinate on the head of that idea. Your audience is way tougher than you think. And if they’re willing to abandon you because you’re going to vote for Ron Paul or didn’t like The Avengers then they were probably going to ditch you anyway.Opinions are fine. They make you human. Why sterilize yourself and your beliefs? The key to having an opinion is obeying Wheaton’s Law: don’t be a dick and a corollary, Wendig’s Tenet, don’t have and/or offer crazy-person opinions. “I think all the Jews should be sent to the moon” is not a sane position, so maybe you just want to button that one up and go away.”
— Chuck Wendig on having opinions as a writer

Write about walking the red carpet. Describe the atmosphere. What celebrities roam around? What are they wearing? How do fans react? Are there interviewers and photographers that scramble about? Try to focus on description, but tie in a story, as well!

“Put your characters in danger—and don’t let them get out of it easily. If a character is being chased and trying to get through a door, don’t let them escape and breathe a sigh of relief. Or if they do escape, there had better be something on the other side that flips it. Don’t waste of a good danger.”
