- Write a scene where numbers feature in a big way. The scene can have as many characters you wish.
- The numbers can be used in any way – like a list or as a monetary value or years / days / age, weight or height or in comparison.
- Think lucky numbers vs unlucky ones
- Think lucky dates
- Think words for numbers – dozen for 12, decade for 10 years – how can you play with that?
- You can write a poem too! Either a stand-alone or related to your scene.
Here are some example scenes:
- A character is making a list of things using numbers
- A character is accused of stealing a certain amount of money
- When a big number of people turn up for a party
- How many days since someone has written to the character?
- Does the character have a special date or number in their past and is there a backstory that foreshadows the plot?
- Is there a cultural or political significance to a number or a date?
- Is it the prison id of a character or someone in their past?
