Pink Sphinx! Story Starters #1


Inspired by surrealist and dada parlor games, The Pink Sphinx Method uses dice to spark new directions for your fictional worlds. Whether you need a freewriting warmup to destroy writer's block, or a fresh start for a whole new project, The Pink Sphinx Method is here to help!


The following Pink Sphinx exercise is featured in my local SoCal SCBWI chapter newsletter. To see what the other talented members of our community are creating, and to learn more about the benefits of joining the SCBWI, check it out here.


Don't have three dice? No problem! Try using this digital dice roller from teacherLed.com. Simply mark all three dice boxes at the top of the window and click "roll dice."
