Adventures in Story Cube Writing…

Young Writer's Posts

Hey, young writers! Just wanted to share a little bit of what I’ve been doing with my story cubes. I usually start by opening up a Word Document and writing down what I rolled at the top so I can look back on it and remember what inspired my scene. Then, I set my timer on my phone to 25 minutes and start writing. I’ve included a pic of what my header looks like and a little piece of a scene that I wrote using my cubes. 🙂

Three quick things: 1) I only used 3 categories/cubes for this scene, this isn’t ALL of the scene (or the final version 😛 ), and the colors at the top correspond to the category rolled (voyage dice are green, action dice are blue, and enchanted dice come in pink). I’ve also included a picture of what I rolled below…
