If you’re up for a challenge on building up your inventory of writing, try Paperback Writer’s Dictionary: Impossible.

Take a dictionary, flip through, stop on a random page and write down the first word you see. Repeat until you have 10 words. Then you begin to play.

Level One: Create at least three novel titles using only the words on your list (a, an, the, and other simple words can be added for style.) You have five minutes to complete this level.

Level Two: Create a story premise for the titles you’ve created from your list.

Level Three: Write an opening line for the title/story premises you’ve created.

Level Four: Write the story to go with one of your opening lines, premises and titles.

Level Five: Write the stories to go with all of them, and you win Dictionary: Impossible.
