I gave writing a game in six tweets a shot yesterday. It’s below!<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Place of Purpose<\/b><\/p>\n

Take a coin, paper, pen. Write words & numbers, 1-5: fight, cry, love, sleep, run. Write again 6-10: need, want, hate, ache, hurt.<\/p>\n

Write a name, job, home, purpose. Answer: Old or young? Strong or weak? Alive or dead? Alone or together? Interpret as desired.<\/p>\n

Draw a map, simple\u2019s fine. Mark home, mark place of purpose. Line from one to the other & mark four risks. You name the challenge.<\/p>\n

Write your story from risk to risk. Who do you meet? Name them. Why are they there? Write this. At each risk, flip the coin twice.<\/p>\n

The path from risk to risk is yours, but the coin chooses one each 1-5 & 6-10, & tells you what you encounter. Write how you fail.<\/p>\n

You continue after failure to your place of purpose. When you arrive, flip the coin twice. Write how your purpose is fulfilled.<\/p>\n
