How to create a story in ten minutes once again

Two days earlier, we had this little chap waiting at the chippie for his sausage, chips and curry sauce.

The mouse story at the chippie was part of a filler for something much bigger: in other words, a link between one story and another. Let's have a look at how the story unfolded. 

Ask yourself what happens when you go to a chippie. Write a list of things and work those experiences into the story.

Let's look at the scene before he queued for his his meal.

At 11pm on a Friday night, the mouse entered the chippie in a pensive mood. His bills were piling up. He wondered how he might pay his electricity bill.

"Darn bills," he said. "Must auction off my cheese knives online...sell my cheese photos...cancel my subscription to Cheese Eaters Illustrated..."

His thoughts rudely interrupted: suddenly, the mouse turned his head. He was startled by the arrival of a drunken bear with a drum. Thumping a drum. "Brilliant," the mouse said to himself. "A real Ace of Diamonds, aren't you, sir?"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

So the mouse queued for his supper, ignoring the bear.

When he ordered his portion of sausage, chips and curry sauce, the man at the fish bar said to him...

"Sausage, chips and curry sauce...AGAIN?"

And the mouse said,

"Well, why not? You think I eat cheese all the time? Well, I don't. I got high blood pressure, the doctor says. Goodnight."

And the man at the fish bar said, "Oh, right. Goodnight."

But he knew the mouse would be back tomorrow.

And the mouse also knew he would be back tomorrow.

Have a go writing a simple story. A ten-minute piece of work. It is important that you don't procrastinate: just do it, create. Like I say, create.

Because you can.
