\"Dice<\/a>Welcome back to monthly columnist,\u00a0Wyatt Bessing<\/a>. A writing coach and teacher, author,\u00a0Wyatt Bessing<\/a>\u00a0shares his fun take on games, play, and how they help our writing. This month Wyatt helps develop a haunting setting game for writers. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

This was the writing assignment that inspired my first published children\u2019s story: Write a bare bones short story of 300 words or fewer. It will have a simple plot, almost no description, and two (exactly two) plot twists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever noticed that placing rules and restrictions on your writing forces you to hone your words, to become more exact and creative in your language use? It must have something to do with the way the rules engage the mind, providing a safe structure from which the creative spark can dance and attempt escape. By staying within the rules, I apply tension to my own writing, and that tension sizzles in the prose.<\/p>\n

Bare Bones: A Haunting Story Game is intended to help you ratchet up the tension and precision in your language by placing some of those frightening restrictions on your own writing.<\/strong> This is a way to polish your setting description to its bare bones, illuminating the essentials just enough to give your reader a taste of the story world without boring them with unnecessary details.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll readily admit it: Setting is not my strongest suit. I change my mind about setting throughout my first draft; doors, roads, and houses that\u00a0didn’t\u00a0exist on page one suddenly appear midway through the novel.<\/strong> Streets and even towns mysteriously change names. II tend to dribble setting out in drabs, fearful of boring my reader but easily forgetting what I’ve written before.<\/p>\n

My challenge to you, as to myself: Develop a captivating setting in exactly 400 words, one that adequately describes your character\u2019s house, backyard, suburb, wherever the majority of the action in your work-in-progress takes place.<\/p>\n

You will need two six-sided dice. \u00a0Here are the rules:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. You have exactly ten minutes. Set a timer. You must keep your hand moving in your notebook, or your fingers moving across the keys, for that entire time. If you\u2019re stuck, just write \u201cI\u2019m stuck\u201d or look up and put some setting detail from your surroundings into your story.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0Add some weather. \u00a0It occurs to me that I don\u2019t know what the weather is like as my novel begins, so I\u2019ll create a chart of weather and roll a die to figure it out. It\u2019s set in the Bay Area of California, so I can rule out snow.<\/p>\n

1: rain<\/p>\n

2: sun<\/p>\n

3: mild<\/p>\n

4: foggy<\/p>\n

5: chilly<\/p>\n

6: still<\/p>\n

Interestingly, I roll a 6 and instantly think of earthquake weather. Since this is a story about a superstitious little boy, I can definitely work this into the story.<\/p>\n

3. \u00a0Now, the tough part. Rhyming words! \u00a0Roll two dice and add them up for the first rhyming word. Roll again to get the word with which it rhymes. Then do it again to get another pair of rhyming words, counting from the last.<\/p>\n

I want to work on wordcraft as well as setting.<\/strong> For some of these words to rhyme, you might have to rewrite a bit to make it work, but that\u2019s part of the fun. Of course, you\u2019ll also revise to pare your writing down to exactly 400 words after your 10-minute non-stop writing spree. Stop rhyming and revising when the blood pools on your fingers and all your words begin to haunt you. \u00a0For that\u2019s when you know your writing is powerful.<\/p>\n

When it starts to feel haunting, dangerous, and fragile, you have begun to write.<\/p>\n
