All you need to do is fill in the blanks! Here you go:

"#4: Once upon a time there was ______.
Every day, _____. One day ______.
Because of that, _____. Because of that, _____.
Until finally ______."

A mad Queen, a poor peasant, a pig in a poke, an alligator in a vest – where do you want to start?

And what happens every day?

Then one day... There is a knock at the door? A package arrives? The tree falls? What happens?

Then follow the logic. When that happens, what does it cause? And in turn, what does that cause? Watch the little dominoes falling!

And finally, what happens?

Just fill in the blanks, and see what kind of a story you come up with.

A scene, a story, a tale for the day. All it takes is a few words, and POOF! There it is!

Now get those words out for Nanowrimo! Take each sentence in the Mad Lib tale, and make that a scene! Yes. Character, setting, inciting incident, complications, complications, and climax. Or ... fill in the blanks and see what happens.
