Prepared by Bob Sanchez

-------------------------

Exercise: Write a scene of 400 words or less in which a character jumps to a conclusion after overhearing a conversation.

-------------------------

Take an overheard snippet of conversation and build a short scene from it. First, in no more than a line or two, tell us what your character has overheard. Then continue with the character's take on the situation--he or she may imagine the worst, the best, or just something worthy of an eavesdropper.

----------------------------

These exercises were written by IWW members and administrators to provide structured practice opportunities for its members. You are welcome to use them for practice as well. Please mention that you found them at the Internet Writers Workshop.
