<p>A character has a problem. As a result of that problem, they make a decision. As a result of that decision, they change.</p> <p>CONSUME: “Schitt’s Creek” on Netflix</p> <p>CREATE: Write a 200-word story about a super spy who has been incapacitated by a super villain. He’s chained to a conveyor belt on his way into an incinerator. Or locked inside a cage being lowered into the ocean. Then they make a decision based on their experience. Maybe it’s action, strength, wit, or intelligence. But they make a decision, and that decision has a consequence (they escape! They get injured! A bystander gets hurt!). And in the end, something significant has changed for them, and it’s because of that choice and the consequence.</p> <p>Join the SWT Membership community to share your work, give feedback, and connect with other artists: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/startwiththis" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/startwiththis</a></p> <p>Help spread the word about our show by wearing our logo: <a href="https://topatoco.com/collections/startwiththisFollow" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://topatoco.com/collections/startwiththisFollow</a> us on Facebook and Twitter.</p> <p>Credits: Jeffrey Cranor (host) &amp; Joseph Fink (host), Jeffrey Cranor (producer), Grant Stewart (editor), Vincent Cacchione (mixer).
