- I need to wrote a story.
- The time period has to be around Bible times.
- It has to be set in an out-door (open air) market.
- It has to be long--about 5 typed pages, to be exact.
- And I have no IDEA how to go about writing it.
- So I need you to help.
So I'm appealing to all my writer and non-writer friends. PLEASE, PLEASE, help! Tell me all you're ideas on the subject, and I'll go on from there.
By the way--this is a school project, and I'll be able to earn (at least!) 10 points from this writing. So your help will be really appreciated.
THANK YOU!!!!
It sounds amazing! I have always liked the idea of the faith being brought to the germanic tribes. It's probably cliched and there have been numerous books about it.. but, I also loved the idea of a slave girl being bought at the market and then softens her owner's hearts and they then repent.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Mara.
Abigail: That sounds great! Hope you get ten points! One idea she ciuld be a rich Roman girl who is looking for some fun a and sees some traveling preachers.
ReplyDeleteHow much in the market?
ReplyDeleteTip don't let 5pgs get you, most storys written for DB end up that long.
idea start, have girl running through village, very scared, not nessecarily your main character.
I see a little girl running through this market. clutching a stuffed something,long ragish,dress, made of hide,she flys round the corner of one of these shops, where an older women is standing talking to another shop keeper.
"Aunt Betha, Aunt Betha!"the wee girl puffs.The older woman leans over the counter at the little wondering if there's a hurt "Aunt Betha, Netta [nanny] took me to the fields to play, like you said while she looked for the herbs you asked for.Netta was gone long time , Aunt Betha so me 'n' pansy [she holds up the doll] go looks for her.
It's not really the five pages that gets me. I've written a long story before that ended up ten pages! It's the getting it all put down on paper that's hard!
ReplyDeleteBut it's coming...thank you, all, for the suggestions!

Eh ... I have an idea and I tell it to you in my poos english. You could write about a dark-haired girl, Christian, fled from Rome. She is found in a German forest. (dark, mysterious) Taken to one of the tribes, where she had to do dirty work. (Scraping burnt pots in the river)The girl struggles with her Christianity. They fled for fear of a martyr's death and now ... she is here. She is harassed. Her heart is dark and full of resentment. Feeling hate is sinful. How is it like Jesus: friendly, forgiving, loving. Some day, she can show who Jesus is. When an infectious disease outbreak, she tells the story Jesus, her savior. There are some people who accept this savior. etc
ReplyDeleteIts an idea. The german forests are so desolate and dark. I got goosebumps when I walk there.
Have fun with writing!
Thank you, Ima (and all!) for your suggestions. Some day, maybe, I'll write a story including all your ideas! That would be fun. I think I have it mostly figured out now, though. Seems if I get my confused thinking down "on paper" (more like computer screen!), my thoughts clear and I can think better.
