1. Story Starter/Fantasy for the Younger Crowd.


PegFinley_picThis is the start to this week’s critique group submission as well as an example how three simple words can become a story. I started with the words, bus, tailpipe and smoke.

Putt! Putt! The bus’ tailpipe spat out a dark blackish grey smoke. 

“I’ll never get home for Thanksgiving,” Cameron complained, “not in this old bucket of rust school.”

“Who you calling a bucket of rust?” said a voice that Cameron didn’t know. “Show some respect.”

“What?” began Cameron, looking all around to se if Nick was acting funny. Where did that come from? It sounded like it was coming from the bus.

Creating a memorable pb:  The author needs a hook at the beginning, lots of action in the middle and a conflict solved and wrapped up at the end.
