Inhaltsangabe

A fill-in book from the San Francisco Writers' Grotto, authors of the best-selling 642 Things series.

Focus on a single aspect of the craft of writing with help from the San Francisco Writers' Grotto.

The rest of the book consists of prompts and space to write, providing opportunities to explore how both high-stakes and low-key moments can be action-packed. Among other ideas, you'll be asked to write an account of:

• a highly competitive game of hopscotch
• an orange being peeled as if it were the last one on earth
• a car ride with an overly confident student driver
• a meal prepared by a cook who is really depressed
• the step-by-step process of opening a long-awaited piece of mail
