That's a good idea.
It's something people could also try in part, by writing just a full scene from a TV show or movie.

This just came to me randomly as I was describing a bell tinkling on a shop door. And I wondered if that was an important detail... and then remembered a TV episode last night with a shop door with a tinkling bell.... Tell me if you think this is a brilliant idea or not. What if you sat down with a TV episode and had to rewrite the entire thing as a short story? You'd know exactly what you were writing; characters, dialogue, plot, everything. You wouldn't add anything except the visual aspect that doesn't come across in the dialogue. I think it would help you learn to pay attention, to describe things, and to mix descriptions with dialog in an entertaining fashion. Thoughts? Does anyone want to do this with me as a challenge? |

HAHA! BRILLIANT! YES! OK... Hrm... This could be tricky and fun... I like writing short stories about what I think could have happened next... so this would be different. I want to try it!

I think it is a good idea, and a great exercise. |
