NYC Midnight – Update
I thought the first round was tough. This round was harder.
I’m in group seven, and our assigned genre was SCIENCE FICTION. The required location and object were: FISH FARM and PLUNGER.
My first reaction was … Oh. My. God.
My second reaction: I can’t do this.
But, I’m never one to give up.
Brainstorming gave me a headache, but the old muse pulled through.
Sometimes I’m just amazed how these stories develop, flow out of me. It starts with just an inkling of an idea and develops from there.
Okay, first I got out my reference books and refreshed my memory on the exact definition of SCIENCE FICTION. I learned that science fiction takes on characteristics of other genres while moving to other places in time. Okay I really didn’t learn much but it got me headed in the right directions.
What really stumped me were the FISH FARM and PLUNGER requirements. I googled both. Did you know there are three different kinds of plungers? Well, that information was zero help.
So, this is where my muse came into the picture.
Anyway, it’s written. I’ll sit on it for a few hours, make sure there are no glaring problems, and then enter it in the contest.
Title: THE HUNT.
Logline: Two students must finish a scavenger hunt through time or they will have to repeat the class.
I’ll get it uploaded this week in case you’re interested in reading it!
