Thank you for reminding me why I've switched to writing stage plays. 

Keep laughing!

Well this year I got the genre which I think pushes me furthest out of my wheel house:

GROUP 20
GENRE: Rom Com
SUBJECT: Last resort
CHARACTER: Chameleon

I spent the first couple of days just watching rom coms and also and the respective epsiode of the excellent Mark Kermode programme, 'Secrets of Cinema' where he breaks down the beats used in different genres. I think I've got my head round it.

Oh. God. This is not my genre. I'm having to lean heavily into influences from previously watched movies like 'The Mummy', 'Tomb Raider' etc. 

It's probably veering more into rom-com territory at the moment but.... I'm trying :D 

Good luck everyone! 

Hey Jess! Nice to see you here again. I am working away at a CRIME CAPER (not my genre at allll), and my prompts are "shortcomings" and a "clockwatcher."

I had to attend a family wedding and got sick this week so I am really cutting it down to the wire here.

Hope you're having fun with your prompt!

I had romantic comedy/ birthday party / weekend warrior

All good, until the weekend warrior character. I had never heard of that before! Had to do a lot of research and I hope I got it right Confused

I'm in Group 46 (Fairy Tale, A Triathlon, An Escapee) as well!  Had a blast with mine, and am very interested in seeing how everyone else tackled these kinda narrow prompts
