Cool Way to Stretch Your Storytelling Muscles


Posted On Dec 6 2007 by

Write an exactly 50-word mini saga.  I hear this can become
quite addictive.  I enjoyed writing this one, it’s a memoir

Orion

Predawn, on the dock, overlooking the Sound, I see Orion
rising over the hill behind our condominium for the first
time this season.  I recall this was Dad’s code name during
the war – the hunter – recovering looted Nazi art.  I am
saddened I never heard those stories from my father.  (50
words.)

Certainly, you can write your mini-saga longhand.  The more
intimate the saga the better it lends itself to
handwriting.  Handwriting may also bring you more into the
present than keyboarding.

Play with it. Experiment. 

I like MS Word because it’s easy to track how many words
I’ve composed using its word count tool.  It even has a
toolbar you can use to keep a quick count. 

What would your life be like if you wrote one a day for a
month?

This idea for the 50-word mini saga comes from A Whole New
Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future
by Daniel
Pink.  Enjoy the book.

Blessings,
