If you want to, use the three minute speed writing method from last week... (some cinnamon and spices for taste...) B. Roll your die. Character # 1 feels 1. Love 2. Joy 3. Distress 4. Fear 5. Pride 6. Guilt C. Roll again! Character # 2 feels 1. Hate 2. Relief 3. Sadness 4. Anticipation 5. Gratitude 6. Anger (put it in a pan...) D. Roll again! They are sitting together at 1. Restaurant 2. Business Meeting 3. Bar 4. Bus Stop 5. Airport 6. Church (and bake it when you can...) And write up the scene.
