Writing a story
Use the following words in your entry today: tumultuous, navigate, journey, and gargantuan.


I'm not sure where this is going to take me but here is what came to mind right away.

When I first joined WDC, I loved entering the Daily Flash Fiction Contest. Many days the prompt would be seemingly unrelated words you had to use in your entry. I developed a system. I would list the words, then under each word, I would write things that popped into my head without overthinking. So, I will do that for this prompt:

tumultous

relationships
junk drawer
bad housekeeping

navigate

boating
life
to the bathroom in the dark

journey

trip
funeral
outing with friends

gargantuan

overwhelming feat
tarantula
pine tree

After writing down all the things I could think of, I would look over the words for connections, something that might be common to all four words. For example...A tumultuous room results in a gargantuan journey to navigate to the bathroom in the dark. With this sentence in mind, I would write my story.
