Begin a new piece of writing with someone refusing or rejecting something in this week's creative writing exercise

Decide who it is, what they’re saying no to, and the possible consequences.

What’s the decision-making process behind the refusal?

Is the refusal going to have a positive or negative impact, and on who?

Thinking in terms of dramatic progression, what might the refusal lead to?

Write a passage that shows the impact of the refusal, and then take your story where it needs to go.
