Writing Fix: Counting Up or Down Stories

Curated by ACT

The writer will brainstorm situations where individuals or people in a group count up or count down out loud together. Using the ending of chapter 5 of Wringer by Jerry Spinelli as a model, the writer will plan a story where someone (or a group of someones) counts out loud. In between the counted numbers, the writer will slow down the action and describe details that go on in between split seconds.
