Sample idea: Would like to but can't

What ambitions do you have that you’re never likely to achieve? What things would you dearly love to do that you’ll probably never get experience in real life? Writing gives you the chance to do those things. You can experience them in your head, then write them down and share them with everyone. It’s almost as good as doing it for real - or at least the closest you’re ever likely to get. It might even be much better than the real thing.

This is your chance to ...

  • run someone over
  • beat up someone who's much bigger than you
  • hurl a brick through someone's window
  • set fire to a building
  • cause computer chaos
  • abandon your car in the middle of the city and cause a gridlock
  • run naked along the high street
  • drive the wrong way up the motorway
  • overtake a police car
  • leap your car over a broken bridge
  • roll your car right over onto its roof and then back onto its wheels again
  • go ski jumping
  • win an Olympic gold medal
  • or any number of other things

Let's imagine you've now 'done' whatever it is you wanted to do. Was it as good (or as bad) as you imagined? What were the consequences? If it's something you've always dreamed of doing, it's probably best to make sure the outcome is a good one, otherwise it'll leave you feeling terribly disappointed.

But what if this thing you've always dreamed of doing turns out to be a bad experience?
