I don't know if you did this in grade school, but this is fun! Basically? Create a story that first has a scene. For instance: There was a writer named Snoink.
Unfortunately, she didn't know what to write!
Fortunately an idea came into her head.
Unfortunately she forgot soon that idea soon after.
Fortunately, a better one came.
Unfortunately, once she wrote it down, she realized it was stupid.
Fortunately she entered it on YWS Revisited and got a response that told her exactly what to do.
Unfortunately, when she started writing, she didn't know how to continue.
Fortunately, she went to Writing Activities and saw this thread!Basically? You'll have these really great ideas for stories, but haven't a clue as to how to finish them! So that's why these things are so useful! Basically? You start with a situation and start doing the "fortunately, unfortunately" game. The ideas, I promise you, will come flying out. So let's try it out! Continue the story, and let's have fun. The beginning? Once there was this alien on Mars. Unfortunately, he wanted to travel the world.

Fortunately, they were forced back into work by a liberal government comprised of assorted martians and mafia leaders.

Unfortunately, the mafia leaders killed the head martian over a dispute concerning work conditions.

Fortunately, they were going through a divorce at the time since he tried to kill his three little martians, so they were happy he would never get a chance to stalk them.

Fortunately, it was the Martian mofia, which is much different (and much more civil) from the Russian mofia, so it really didn't matter.
