All I need is a couple of characters and a vague idea to expand upon in one of an infinite number of directions, this should be a piece of cake. ..."It was a meterologically describable evening, and the author was scrabblig around for a better line to begin his narrative with..." Okay, not a good start. Self reference is the tool of lesser writers, right, back to the grind stone. Roald Dahl's grand daughter, here I come. ..."BAM! Everyone died. Which in turn, effectively ruled out all prospect of the story that could have followed." Well that was stupid. This is starting to get annoying.
