Okay writers!  I’ve got homework for you.  Using the following writing prompt, sit down and put together a brand new short story this weekend.

• Plot element: a missed connection
• Plot type: overcoming the monster (protagonist must defeat an oppressive or terrifying force)
• Character: an optimistic drunk
• Setting: a library
• Wild card element: a troll

I pulled these elements at random from my story idea generator.  I have to say, they’re pretty awesome!

Happy writing 🙂
