STEO ONE: 30 Circles (Draw items that remind you of a circle), then write a short story using 3 items drawn.
STEP TWO: Add linkers, adjectives, adverbs and story references to improve your story.
STEP THREE: "A dim-witted French burglar"
On the evening of 1st June, a not-so-smart/ careless / brainless / dim-witted / stupid French burglar broke into a modern, 2-storey house in Paris. He first started stealing gold and silver things in the warm living room. Then, just as he was going to leave, his stomach began rumbling. So he peeped into the fridge and saw his favourite blue cheese, sat down and ate it quickly / devoured it drooling. While he was enjoying his meal, he remembered the two expensive, cold champagne bottles to drench his thirst.

tired that he decided to take a quick/short nap. Unfortunately, he fell sound
asleep. The next morning, who woke him up? A snickering French policeman who tapped on sleeping-beauty’s shoulder.
