"I was afraid of gunshots until I heard more fireworks than guns. My irrational phobia of fireworks was the first of many..."
Begin a story with this line.
Challenge: Write about a character's phobias but let the main story be something other than his/hers fears. Ex: The story's based around his/hers fears but it's actually telling the tale of his/hers insecurities about life. Be creative!
Tip: Write the middle of a story first. When you understand the premise, go back and write the beginning. Whenever you're confident on the ending, write that. If the first thing you write is page 5 and the last thing you write is somewhere in the middle and you're able to put together a full story, it's more likely to be cohesive.
Ready. Set. Continue.
