EXERCISE: One little line
original posting 27 July 2011
(huh? this was sitting in my draft email... 4/11/2007? must be time to let it go...)
Hi out there!
Let's see. How about a quick exercise? A one line starting point?
Feel free to modify or discard this starting line as your story grows. But use it as the irritant to start your pearl - now!

Matthew never expected that his one-day business trip would change his whole life.There you go. So you can start with the scene of the one-day business trip, drop us into that, and grow it into something that changes Matthew's life. The shifts in other lives are left as an exercise for the student (that would be you ;-)
