"Write about a recipe for something abstract, such as a feeling."
____________________________________________
Recipe for a Story
Ingredients
2 cups Imagination
½ cup research
¼ cup experience
1 cup patience
1 large chunk of your time
1 grammar beater
1 spellchecker
Optional items
¼ cup of unusuals words and anecdotes
¼ unique names of people and places
¼ of your personal favourites and idiosyncrasies
1/3 teaspoons of your heart
1 sliver of your soul
For decoration
Banners / edits/posters/ signature or other relevant pictures
Method
In a large bowl using the large chunk of your time, beat the Imagination and Research till smooth and no lumps remain. Now fold in the experience and the other optional ingredients, in little lots, adding patience in between to ensure that the mixture does not curdle.
Cover and let the mixture rest for a while.
Remove the cover and using the grammar beater, gently whisk the mixture till it is slightly frothy. Pour the mixture in a bowl, brush with the spell checker and place in pre-heated oven.
Bake till it is ready, to confirm run the spell checker once again, it should come out clean.
Pour the teaspoons of your heart, add the sliver of your soul, remove all signs of fear and serve it to your readers, with a small wish: "May they find Happiness"

This prompt also put me in a quagmire, for I had already used this format for a story of mine and this is the best I could come up with, as I tried hard to make it different. How different it turned out to be, is for my readers to judge.
