Challenge #1
You're going to novelize an episode! Well, a short bit of it.
1. Think of an action scene (not a conversation) from any DW episode - a scene that you're familiar with enough that you can picture the setting and you can see in your mind what the characters are doing.
2. Now, write a few paragraphs describing what's happening, as if you're novelizing the episode.
3. You're aiming for ten or fifteen seconds' worth of action, and trying to make your reader clearly picture what's going on.
4. Try to focus on using action verbs and avoiding adverbs (words ending in -ly). For example, instead of "The Doctor ran quickly to the console", try "The Doctor dashed to the console" or even "The Doctor leapt to the console".
You can choose an audio, if you prefer, or even a comic book, but not a prose story. If there's any dialogue in the scene, you can either get it from chakoteya.net or just make it up from memory - for this challenge, dialogue accuracy is not important.
This one is due Monday, since this is the first challenge and is posted late.
