Help provide others with writing exercises that don't have to be purchased in a text.

As much as I like What If...?, and recommend it, I'd like for tOFP materials to be as free standing as possible. Help to make this possible by suggesting writing exercise to replace the "What do your characters want?" exercise in Task 1. I will incorporate those that are well-liked by the community back into the OpenFiction Project. Post suggested exercises to the discussion forum of this task.
