Drizzle Dazzle!

Every story has Character, Setting and Plot. How we build upon these elements is entirely up to our imagination. Here is an idea to get you started.
Picture the scenario given below and think of how you would write it in two extremely different ways. For instance, you can start with writing the story in a funny or tragic way.

Scenario:
"A woman walks into a wedding dinner party, she looks around her and looks perplexed. She walks over to a table and sits down..."

While you think about the story try thinking of it with this approach:

Who are you writing this for?
Why are you writing it and why would the reader want to read your story?
Where do you want to take this story to?
When do you think the story took place?
What are the possibilities of the characters, setting and plot?
How does your characters, setting and plot make the story funny or tragic?

Details are important!
So drizzle your stories with details to make the story funny or tragic and dazzle your readers!
