Chap 19- How To Be Original (Requested Chapter)

Well, I usually don't do the tip-giving stuff. But this chapter is upon someone's request so yeah, I'm giving this a go.

In this chapter, you'll learn how to come up with ORIGINAL ideas. Step by step, I suppose.

STEP ONE:

||Choose your genre||

HUMOR

Let's start off with the humor genre, since most people have problem tackling that particular one and it is also really popular so... yeah, whatever.

'Kay so, the type of humor I like, is supposed to be witty and sarcastic. I love that kind of humor.

However, coming up with silly scenes is also pretty funny. But your question: How do I do that?

Well, think about stuff that would make you laugh, and think hard. 'Kay? Let's make up an argument.

A girl walks into Starbucks, or a coffee shop. And there, sitting on one of the tables is her arch-nemesis, a cocky boy? Yeah, whatever. So, she remembers that the boy has done something to insult her. Let's say... he called her a plastic balloon.

Meaning, that she's fake, fat and her voice is squeaky since the balloons are filled up with Helium.

So, fuelling up on anger, she stalks over to the guy's table and sits across from him.

Let the argument begin.

He looks up at her, cocking an eyebrow, "You know that this place doesn't have Helium tanks, right?"

She scowls, "If they had one, all the Helium would be swirling around in your head,"

He glares, "Are you calling me an airhead?"

"I don't need to call you one, the title was based on you," She shot.

"Just like the Helium tanks were made for girls like you?" He retorted.

^ Okay, so you guys see how they're replying to each other with smashing comebacks? Hm, I could've come up with better but-- eh, it was just an example.

You might want to observe it, hm?

Okay, coming up with a silly scene. How do you do that? Try and think the impossible, and write it in a way that would make it seem possible.

Now what's that supposed to mean?

Well, how about... a kidnapping silly scene? I have noticed that many girls attempt to make those funny, but fail miserably, seriously. So, how to do that?

'Kay, so how 'bout you start off a kidnapping scene something like this, now pay attention:

There's a dude, that needs money, and fast. He's strolling on the side-walk, his head lowered, thinking up of a way to earn money really fast.

When he looks up, he spots a girl that just left a store (any store, doesn't matter) and she has grocery bags in her hands.

A light bulb goes off in his head and he thinks about kidnapping. Of course, he hesitates 'cause he's never done anything like it before and it's against the law but he goes for it anyways.

One problem-- he doesn't have a car. (Now read closely, I'm about to do something)

He weighs his pros and cons but still decides to kidnap the girl, he approaches her, trying not to act suspicious. Starts walking beside her.
