     Hello everyone.  Today's story starter gives you options for adventure.  Can you imagine waking up in totally new surroundings and not knowing how you got there?  That is the premise of today's story starter.  
     You get to fill in the details.  Let your imagination go wild.  What was this new place?  How did you get there?  Will you get back to your normal surroundings?  Do you want to get back to your normal surroundings?  Show us your adventure!  Tell us your story!
     If you choose this assignment, I would love to hear what you wrote.  If you care to share just a bit, please mention it in the comments below.  If you want to share it all, please feel free to contact me!

     Hello everyone.  It was such a hot day today, it would have been a wonderful time at the beach.  However, I am not anywhere near a beach.  So, I guess I will just have to keep it in my imagination.  So, I decided to create today's story starter about a trip to the beach.
     I started to set the scene for the story.  Now, if you choose to take the challenge and the assignment, it is your turn.  Where will you take the story from here?  I would be happy to know.  Please, feel free to comment below or to contact me.  Enjoy!

     Hello everyone.  It is raining here today.  I looked out the window and the rain was pouring down.  Okay…not pouring down, but coming down.  I decided to not go out and do what I had planned for today.  So, that is what gave me the idea for today's writing assignment.  I admit, I hope that it is not a boring day.  However, there have been times when days like this have turned out to be boring.
     Now, it is your time.  Pretend that it is raining outside, you turn on the television but nothing good is on, and the pains of boredom start setting in.  Tell your story.  What happens from here?  Does the day continue to be boring?  Does it turn into something exciting and unexpected? How?  Why?

     Hello everyone!  Some people had an imaginary friend while growing up.  Did you?  Some children dream of having super powers themselves.  Did you?
     Today's writing prompt has to do with imaginary friends.  Your assignment is to write a story that includes an imaginary friend.  Describe every part of the imaginary friend.  Is it... an animal, a person, a made up creature?  Does he, she, or it have any special talents or powers?  What do you do or talk about with your imaginary friend?  
     Have fun!  If you choose to do this assignment, I would be happy to see your results.  Thank you!
