I need help.
---Again.
I've gotten myself into a bit of a situation. You see, due to the fact that I have inherited a big mouth from one parent and a very competitive spirit from the other, I said that I would write a story about soggy cereal.
And it cannot just be a story. It has to be a good story. A really good story. Why, you ask? Simply because it will be the first piece of my work that most of my friends read. Add on the fact that the guy who egged me on (granted, with help) into doing this is someone I really like, greatly esteem, and otherwise admire, I don't want him to forever think of me as a child. This story must be good.
In thinking about what to write, I remembered something Mono said when I asked for help for another of my stories:
You could write a story about this ashtray, for example, and a man and a woman. But the man and woman are always the two poles of your story. The North Pole and the South. Every story has these two poles - he and she.
I'm one of those people who writes stories backwards, so I've thought of a possible ending:
There is a man, who likes soggy cereal, and a woman, who likes hers crunchy. There could be a big fight or something, he would leave, and it would end with her sitting at a table to eat her cereal, which is now soggy, to ponder thoughts of all that has happened.
Or it could possibly be a humor story. That would be easier to write, but I'd also have a harder time thinking of a plot. . .
Anyway, as always, any form of help is greatly appriciated. Thank you!
