CC's Daily Story Starters - sometimes all you need is a little push in any direction...
Blocked? Bored? Blued? Need a push to start off today's writing?
Here are today's Story Starters. Use them as you see fit -- alter them to suit your needs, use them as inspiration or as an exercise -- or best of all, shake your head in disgust and write a much better line!
Using CC's Paragraph-A-Day tool is an excellent way to keep all your Story Starters together.

Some things to consider:
-
Could this be an opening line in your story? Why, why not? Does a particular character spring to mind?
-
What kind of a scene do you picture upon reading the line?
-
What do you think you know about the characters involved?
-
Do you assume anything about time or place?
And today's Picture Prompt:
Some things to consider:
-
Who are these people playing instruments?
-
The person on this side of that tent, what is he or she doing there?
-
What kind of an event is this?
-
Could this have some relation to what is happening in your story or to your character's past?
