Let’s play!
I bought this little brainstorming tool years ago at some writers’ conference. “Story Cubes” is a brainstorming game. You roll the dice, and whatever pictures appear face-up are the ones you use to riff off a story.
You can try to include all the cubes in your “story” or choose a few. The story you tell doesn’t have to be long or even any good. They all count!
To make this fun, I’ll offer a prize—a $5 Amazon gift card—good for purchasing one or two stories…
Have fun with this! Don’t overthink! Here’s the roll…

Oh, good grief, silently cursing the stars or fates ruling against her this morning of all mornings. She was late, and nothing put her in a bad mood faster than being late! It didn’t seem to be enough that she didn’t fall asleep until two hours before her alarm was supposed to go off. No, then she wasted 20 minutes she didn’t have not only looking for her keys but her cellphone too. Now she was running literally running in heels through the the Atlanta airport trying to make it to her gate before they shut the door and take off without her.
Truly, she would almost rather jump out of a perfectly good airplane than have to run, she hated any form of exercise that made her sweat. Worse yet she hadn’t even had time for some coffee. Why had she even allowed her mother to manipulate her into agreeing to come home at all kept her tossing and turning all night.
