The rules are, I pick a starting line and then write for (say) 15 minutes. No stopping to think, no going back to edit or revise. If I can't think of anything clever to write, I write something stupid. If I can't think of anything to write at all, I repeat the last word or sentence over and over again until I do think of something. Also, I can finish the sentence I'm on when the time is up, but then I have to stop. (This usually results in a cliffhanger.)
My goal is to do one a day for a while. Maybe three months or so. When I do, I'll post 'em here. I reserve the right to not post an FE if it's too personal, but I'll try not to self-censor based on the "this is incredibly stupid" factor.
Meanwhile, if you guys want, you can suggest starting lines. If you don't, I have a whole book of the things (okay, more like a page) that I made in high school for this express purpose, so I'll use those.
And if you wanna do your own, jeeze, I dunno. I don't want to say don't use this topic? But on the other hand, I'm kind of making it specifically for my own FEs. I guess we'll see what happens.
