I've actually been wetting myself laughing at these - they're fantastically funny laugh.gif

One that might actually go well into a story as well as padding something out, though:

QUOTE
I wonder...: I burned about 500-1000 words having a character wonder what kind of a person a fellow bus passenger was. He fantasized about her being a spy, or a housewife, or a cancer-curing scientist, and speculated on what his life would be like if he were to date her in each of her incarnations. He even tried to imagine what her name was. I plan to use this technique again by just having a character become fascinated with something or someone they know nothing about.


Man. FUNNY thread. XD Thanks buddy!
