Exercise #431: Ten Words
Posted 7/29/11

Use these ten words in your SUB:

volunteer
daylight
barrier
trepidation
journey
ruins
discovery
joyful
loss
laughter

Do your best to make your piece tell a story. "Extra credit" for using the words in the order given and/or doing this exercise in 75 words or less.

Critiquers, with our new critique guidelines this one will be more difficult as authors tend to run short on their SUBs. Likely the best approach to these is the Wildacres Seven Steps Technique.
