Dick and Jane exercise

[zrcc28]

Mr. King, and any other readers,

Wow. Great advise in your book 'On Writing'. I loved it. I have just completed the Dick and Jane exercise. It was quite an interesting fossil I dug up when Jane came home to Dick.

Thank you for writing this book. It is a great help to those of us who are just starting out in fiction writing.

I've read On Writing multiple times (I could probably quote it-I'm a writer and it's probably my bible) but I have yet to do the Dick and Jane fossil. Right now there is a rather lengthy line of stories in my head waiting to be told so it's possible when those are exhausted I'll try this one out and see what happens.

So rally the troops and move them out. (I'm talking at both of us).

Can someone remind me of what the Dick and Jane exercise was? Its been a few years since I read On Writing and the old synapses ain't firing like they used to.

"Dick and Jane"

Married young couple with a baby. Domestic abuse begins and escalates, but wait...Willy Wonkise it and reverse your immediate preconception about domestic abuse.
Difficulty: No Jennifer Lopez. And there was something about a teapot.

Are we allowed to post it here? I tried the assignment myself and...it's not the best that I've done...but I think it does fulfill the criteria of what was put down in the book.

Well, damn. I had hoped to post it somewhere. *shrug*

I hope it's okay to post it here for a chance someone might read it...
