Today was the meeting of the small local critique group I belong to. We met, as usual, at a local Tully’s coffee shop and after a few hours of painstakingly going over each other’s work, we became confused about the exact character relationships and story arc in one member’s book.
In attempting to explain these intricate details, our group discovered a great new writing technique - Story Cupping.
We found ourselves using the various cups from coffee that were now scattered about the table to represent various people in her story! It quickly became pretty hilarious as we would ascribe physical traits to paper coffee cups (and a McDonald’s soda cup and a water bottle). We even had a small espresso cup to represent a child!
Who needs Barbie & Ken - we have CUPS!
