Story Institute Imagine, Enhance, & Grow Your Stories

The online community is full of friends we may never meet. However, it is also filled with those who have other intentions…Choose a person, male or female. Choose an age, teenager or younger, senior citizen or younger. Choose a reason that individual was online. Allow them to venture into a forum. Describe the messages. Describe the context of the site. Describe the dialogue that occurs within a topic. Delve into the steps the person takes within the forum and outside the group.

Does the character tell her in-person friends about the group online? Does the character interact with the online group? Or, does he just log on and read? Is there a get together that causes concern? Is this group a pleasant place to share ideas? Or, is a place where predators lurk? Use your online experiences to drive the story. The cloud can be full or darkness and rain, but it can also be a bright place as well. It is where we choose to travel that makes the difference. Where does your character choose? Decide on your direction. Decide on the story and write. Post it here, or share elsewhere, but write and enjoy…
