Need some ideas? Having trouble getting words on the page? Here is something that's worked for me to get the words flowing. Feel free to join in and babble, or just move along.

Write a story in two parts. Use the setting, the starter and include the word. Take no more than 10 minutes!

Part 1:
Setting: During a war
Starter: Where I said, "I do."
Words: Oatmeal

Part 2:
Setting: At a dance
Starter: The power went out.
Words: Uniform

If you had one of these for a battle scene I would love you forever be very appreciative.

That could totally be a battle scene...

Er. Sorry, I meant a one-on-one fight, which isn't possible in a war and ... even as random as I am, I can't really imagine it occurring during a dance.

(Though, yes. Yes, they could. Just ... not in my imagination. Sorry. I suck at expressing myself today.)

Sure -- there's a war. In the middle of the war, there is a wedding. After the wedding is the dance. Then the "Other Guy" shows up to fight with the new groom!

Lol ... I like the way you think.
