---------------------------------------- Storymatic March 04th, 2018 ---------------------------------------- I picked up The Storymatic [0] at a toy store in Princeton today. It's a box of cards that are used as writing prompts. The instructions say to draw two of the gold character cards and one of the bronze lead-in cards. The two character cards together form a main character and the lead-in gets the story moving. Beyond that there are only two rules: 1. The character must change in some way during the story. 2. You cannot kill the main character It's a very simple system. I'm tempted to do a little data-entry and digitize the whole thing into a shell script. I just may do that one night, but I'll fight the urge tonight. Instead tonight will be spent actually using The Storymatic for its intended purpose. I'll be creating a new section for writing exercsises [1] over in the Writing [2] section. If you're a fast gopher reader that content might not be live yet, so come back in an hour or two and try again. I have a passion for writing but I don't spend the time to develop my craft. There's no excuse for it. It's the only way to get better. If I ever have any hope of writing a book then I need to be able to put in the time. Here's a start.
