The Weekend Novelist

i am lucky we have a 3 day weekend b/c i haven't done my writing yet!  hopefully during afternoon nap...

the first assignment, "dynamic plot diagram," was supposed to take 2 weekends, but i am already bored with that, so i am moving on to 

weekends 3-4
"plotting along the curve"

this is for a more cyclical plot, and one example is "the mythic quest".  
cage-escape-quest-confrontation-home

writing exercises:

this story is about a character who...
the cage for my protagonist tastes like...
my protagonist escapes the cage when...
on her road of trials, the protagonist encounters...
to defeat the dragon, my protagonist must...
my protagonist reaches home when...

writing times are 10 minutes for each startline.
