Bouvre Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hello, and welcome to The Elevator Pitch Game! You might be thinking: What’s an elevator pitch? Often, when pitching ideas for a movie/screenplay, the writer has to be able to sum up the plot as quickly and as interestingly as possible, perhaps to test the inherent ability to market it to mass audiences. Similarly, my MFA advisor loves stressing the importance of being able to tell people what the primary event in your story is (preferably in one sentence), because once you have a clearly communicated idea, you’ll have a firmer idea of how to write it, even when you start to trail off or ramble in your narrative. So here’s how the game works: go to random word generator (found here: http://www.textfixer.com/tools/random-words.php), pick 3 words at random, and create one sentence from those words that outlines the basics of a story. This is also a helpful exercise for those of you creative folks who may be searching for an idea, for those of you who need an exercise to get into the swing of writing, or for those of you who struggle to discuss your stories simply. It’s also just entertaining as heck! Here are the three words I received: extract, diversion, drunken So I wrote: A new blend of cinnamon/lavender extract -- created by an artificial flavoring has-been -- assists in the redemption of his former glory, as well as a diversion from his alcoholism. Have at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
