Journal pythorlh's Journal: Miracles 2

We were asked to re-write a miracle story, but the only miracle stories I know are the biblical ones, and I don't really feel like doing those right now. On the other hand, how do you re-write your life?

How do re-write the converstion you have with your boss, when you tell him that you can't work tonight, because your wife is having a C-section?

How do re-write the day you finally broke down and told someone you love them? For the first time in your life, opening up your heart to someone who wasn't already in your family.

How do re-write the day you stood before a man, and said "I will," to all those questions that spoke about forever?

No, seriously. Tell me how.

Please?

I miss the miracles.

  • You know the characters, how they talk, how they react. You know the environment, how it's arranged, and how you interact with it. You know the situation, what's looming seen and unseen.

    Choose a starting point, and let the characters tell the story through their actions.

    If you're having trouble choosing a starting point, think about the event. When did the climax occur, and how far back do you have to go to explain how it came about?
  • Nevermind my last comment...You already did, in this JE.
