[stylist] December Telephone gathering

[James H. "Jim" Canaday M.A. N6YR]

ooooo,
I like the 'supply the first line of a story.'
I think we could have fun.  as I mentioned on the november 
teleconference, as a student therapist, my favorite test to 
administer to clients was the test where I show one picture, it is 
the middle of a story.  pictures number a couple dozen I could choose 
from, and they were to be the middle of the story the client would 
tell.  so, perhaps another would be to describe a scene, have it in 
the middle of a story.
