When out-of-work circus clown Bradley Bumcheaux wakes up one sunny morning to find it snowing furiously outside, he and his Napoleonic Chinchilla must put on their coats and go save their cranberry fields from the freezing snow before they are ruined!. However, when they get to the truck to drive there, it has a flat tire! What can they do to save the day!?

I'm pretty sure I just dictated jacket copy of a horrible children's book!. I suppose that at two o'clock in the morning I should probably call it a night!. At least, it's probably a good idea so more crazy things don't come out of my head/fingers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A story, whether it's a novel, short story, or screenplay, is started with some of the following:

1!. Premise This is when you ask, "What would happen if!?" Anything can get you started with it!. The author of "Lord of the Rings" started his when he wrote about a hole in the ground on a piece of paper!. He had no clue what it meant, he simply wrote it!. Then he started asking "what would happen if!.!.!." something lived in it!? Then it grew into "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings"!. Brainstorm, read the news, and start asking what if questions to develop the premise of your story!.

2!. Setting You can set your story anywhere, on Mars, in the past on Earth, in the future on a starship, anywhere!. Even thinking about the setting can help you to develop the premise!.

3!. Multiple Characters Almost all stories contain multiple characters to play off of the values of the others!. Start thinking about characters and what they want and this will also help you to develop your story!. Ask lots of "what would happen if!?"

4!. Inciting Incident This is where you story begins that turns your story's world upside-down and forces your character to set it straight!. Then your character will begin a quest to reach an object of desire!. Thinking about an inciting incident can also be your premise: "What would happen if a shark ate someone and the partially-eaten body ends up on the beach!?" Jaws!.

These points should help you to get started!.
