What is that smell?

Eww

Where

Could it be coming from?

That stinks.

Do you hear that?

Shh

There

Yeah that

You heard that

Didn’t you?

Why won’t my house

Cooperate with me

Why does it have to

Suddenly smell weird

And have odd noises

For no reason?

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

Blah blah blah

I have nothing to say

Blah blah blah

I have everything to say

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

Concentration is shot

Fingers are tied

I couldn’t type a

Limerick to save my life

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

There once was a man

Whose name was Dan

He hated all things red

Which was a sight since his hair was as red as brick

But he never made much sense.

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

Did you hear the one about the bird?

Yeah, neither did I.

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

Look for a pic

Try to come up with a story plot

Pick out names for characters

Iron out a storyline

Whew, dressing a story is hard
