Blurby

1. A little boy wants to spend time with his father, but the father is always too busy. So it turns out when the little boy grows up, and the father wants to spend time with him, the son is too busy. When the boy was little he always wanted to be like his dad. The dad realizes that he did become just like him. He realized he should of spent more time with his father.

2. Juliet meets a boy named Romeo and she falls in love, but her father doesn't want her to fall in love with him and Juliet wants Romeo to save her.
3. Sara is not buying what this guy (whoever he may be) is selling. She doesn't need someone running her life and telling her what to do and when to do it.
4. It seems to be about a relationship between a guy and a girl. It seems to be toxic and the guy leaves. He moves to the West Coast and realizes it was his fault all along. He finally gets his act together but when he figures it all out it might be too late.

5. There is this guy who used to have everything, he used to be the big shot, he was like a king. He got this by doing what everyone else wanted him to. But he changed. Now, he is alone in the world he used to once rule. He realizes that this "castle" that he used to live in was not stable. You can't live a shallow based life doing the popular thing.

The Sixers

10. That girl is a true friend.
9. Elevator goes up, elevator comes down.
8. I'm bored out of my mind.
7. I'll have a different dream tonight.
6. The butterflies that keep you alive.
5. Go against the flow, it's fun.
4. Traveling the world in a balloon.
3. Stars circling around his head forever.
2. It's like he's made for me.
1. I knew that this would happen.

Five Elements of a Story

Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Nervous?

I think it is the cutest thing when a guy gets nervous because he is with a girl he likes. When they stutter and stumble over themselves. Or if the guy won't kiss her because he was too scared, too nervous. Soooo cute!! I love guys! They make me happy. I love the cute little things that guys do. Like when a guy comes up behind you and wraps his arms around your tummy. I just love that! Or if the guy is across the room and he looks at you and mouths, "I love you". That's adorable. Just simple little things are what I like. Maybe just making a heart with your hands. That's always fun. Keep going guys! You all rock!!!

Impulse II

Matt and Carrie sitting in a little restaurant.

M: I told you it’s all in the pie!
C: Oh no no no it’s most definitely the cookies!
M: Come on Carrie what do cookies have that pies don’t?
C: Cookies are baked with fresh goodness and love!
M: Pies are the definition of delicious!
C: Well we are ordering the cookies for dessert and that’s final!
M: No way! Not going to happen. I am not paying fifteen bucks for some cookies that aren’t even chocolate chip.
C: We can get the chocolate chip ones if you want.
M: I want the Blueberry and Strawberry pie combo. Now I would pay fifty bucks for that!
C: I don’t think you would actually pay fifty bucks for a pie.
M: But Carrie, this isn’t just any pie. It’s the homemade by Granny pie. Those are supposed to be the best. You can’t deny me of that privilege. Can you?
C: Oh I most certainly can. We are getting the cookies no more arguing. Plus we can take them home to share with everyone.
M: First you won’t let me get the most delicious flavoring in the whole world and now you want me to share cookies when their hardly is enough for me and you??
C: Sharing is caring, unless it’s AIDs.
M: If I get the cookies then you have to watch the football game with me.
C: Not going to happen. Sorry about your luck.
M: Come on you can’t have everything you want.
C: Fine fine. I guess it’s a win lose then. I get the cookies you get the game.
M: Deal!

The Beat

I could have started with a different line. Maybe get a better hook to interest my reader. The action is the guy wants the girl to love him.
The conflict is the other man the girl loves.
The event is when the guy finally accepts the girl does not love him and she loves someone else.
Maybe I could flip it. Make the girl want the guy but make him not want her. Maybe the girl doesn’t love someone else maybe I could make it so she wants something else. It might be interesting to get the parents involved make them be the conflict. The forbidden love. That could be interesting.

The Impulse

After school in a Ballroom. There is a girl and a guy.

The Girl: I am in love with someone else.
The Boy: I know
G: I just didn’t want to tell you… I was afraid I was going to hurt you
B: Well it’s too late for that.
G: I’m so sorry
B: No you’re not
G: Yes I am. I really am sorry
B: All I wanted was to be the best guy for you. I tried my best and how do you repay me? By going off with some other guy and not even telling me. Instead I have to find out through everybody else.
G: I did tell you.
B: Yeah after I found out.
G: I didn’t want to hurt you or loose you as a friend.
B: It was too late for us to be just friends the day you kissed me.
G: I thought it was going to work out. I thought we were going to have a family and be together.
B: But?
G: But I found love with a different man. He treats me how I should be treated. He cares about me and loves me for who I am.
B: Oh, and I didn’t? I didn’t love and care about you?? All I wanted to do was make you happy and you didn’t even realize it. Unbelievable. Maybe it is for the best. It never would have worked out anyway.
G: We could have worked it out-
B: Just stop! It’s too late… I gotta go. I’ll… see you around.
G: …Yeah see you around.
