            PROMPT TWENTY-TWO – FICTIONAL INTERVIEW
 
            Good stories spring forth from strong characters. Select a fictional character or a historic figure and interview him/her. Ask them tough questions. Get to know them. At some point a plot will develop from the questions and the answers in the interview.
 
            Here are five interesting people to interview.
 
            Judas Iscariot
            King Tut
            Mata Hari
            Joan of Arc     
            Vincent van Gogh
           
            Based on an interview with Judas Iscariot I generated this pitch.
 
Haunted Streets – Contrary to what the world believes Judas Iscariot is not dead—he is cursed. The immortal has wandered in search of emotional refuge. Angels taunt him. Devils follow him. Then he stumbles across the only human older than himself and a chance to redeem his mistake.

    My wife calls me the StoryMan because everything around me is material for a new story. All of us are surrounded by story ideas and it just takes a little practice to find them. In this section of the website I present writing exercises known as writing prompts that can help you generate new and interesting story ideas. Try a few and see if you don't end up with more stories floating around inside your head than you have time to write.
