What the Wind Picked Up: Proof that a Single Idea Can Launch a Thousand Stories

Book Overview
To show new writers that they can relax about their ideas--and to simply celebrate the diversity of their storytelling gifts--the members of ChiLibris undertook this book. Each writer made something different from the same basic idea. Each of the 21 short stories in this book use the same five elements:
The first line: The wind was picking up.
Mistaken identity
Pursuit at a noted landmark
Unusual form of transportation
The last line: So that's exactly what she did.
As you enjoy these vastly differing variations on a theme, relax about your own marvelous ideas and concentrate instead on writing the very best novel you can. Because what readers want isn't so much an idea that's never been done before, but the story told with your style, your wit, and your voice.
