Hello! I’m glad you stopped by! Are you ready for another creative challenge? I have recently finished reading *Caffeine for the Creative Mind: 250 Exercises to Wake Up Your Brain*, and I found it incredibly helpful and inspirational. I highly recommend it! However, I believe it's time for me to explore other creative challenges and resources outside of this book, so this will be the last exercise I share from it. Today, I’d like to introduce you to a fun challenge that helped me get my creative juices flowing. It’s called "What's Next?"
The challenge is designed to encourage us to examine patterns and disrupt the automatic flow our brains tend to follow. This involves taking two given sentences that establish a pattern and then introducing a third sentence that diverges from our assumptions about what should happen next.
The following five examples each provide an initial line and a second line. The challenge is to create a third line that is unexpected and breaks the pattern our brains try to complete. Ready? Here we go!
1) A man walks into a bar.
2 An angry woman with a bat follows behind.
3) The woman asks the man " Would you like to play baseball with my friends and me?"
1) A kid gets on the bus to school one morning.
2) The door closes when he realizes there's a grizzly bear in the back of the bus.
3) The kid approaches the bear pointing at the seat next to the bear and asks" Is this seat saved?"
1) A man finds an iPod in the streets.
2) It has a note attached that says "Play me".
3) The man hits the play button and hears this message will self-destruct in 3, 2, ....." BOOM!.
1) A Woman. is preparing a TV dinner one night.
2) The woman opens the dessert portion of her dinner.
3) The woman reveals a black hole and was never seen again.
1) A man stumbles across a convenience store robbery.
2) He sees the man about to run out the door carrying a large duffel bag that is very full.
3) He asks the man with the duffel bag " Do you need help with your bags?"
