Plan Bee: My smart, beautiful, and incredibly articulate girlfriend gave me this book for my birthday called "The Pocket Muse: Endless Inspiration" and in addition to its helpful hints for starting writers it has great little mini-assignments to get you writing. Some of these will be more interesting for others, but it's about growth, you know. Plus this is really more to help me than you so what difference does it make. If you don't want to read it I'm not trying to force you.
Anyway here goes: Open an imaginary door, what do you see?
Ninjas. There are ninjas everywhere. There appears to be one dressed in white in the center but I can barely make him out in the sea of black uniforms that envelopes him. More repel down from the broken skylights, but I notice an ever increasing pile of unnaturally heaped bodies around the center scuffle.
It is tempting to run but as I turn I find that I am unable to leave. My katana is totally stuck on the doorframe. I try to pry it loose but the string from the sheath somehow got wrapped around the hinge. I could probably just pull it straight off but it might rip and the whole thing will eventually come unravelled. -->
As I consider my options a deathly hush comes over the room and I suddenly realize that it is too late. 2,000 ninjas in black are standing motionless, staring at me and my bright red uniform, and the one in white is quitely sneaking out the back door. It is true that my actions saved his life this day, but please don't call me a hero. Call me a moron because I took that fool's beating for him. Plus somebody stole my katana anyway. Assholes.
