Story writing

1. Your goal : what you wanted to accomplish: I wanted to be able to take a summer trip with my wife and children

2. Some kind of hurdle, obstacle, or constraint that you faced ( self imposed or otherwise): I had a very limited budget, and could not afford to put my family up, in motels.

3. A description of what you did, step by step ( how you set about to ultimately achieve your goal, above, inspite of this hurdle or constraint): I decided to rig our station wagon as a camper. first I went to the library to get some books on campers. I read those books. Next I designed a plan of what I had to build , so that I could outfit the inside of the station wagon, as well as topside. Then I went and purchased the necessary wood. On weekends, over a period of six weeks, I ... etc.etc.

4. A description of the outcome or result: When we went on our summer trip, we were able to be on the road for four weeks, yet stayed within the budget, since we didnt have to stay on motels.

5. Any measurable / quantifiable statement of that outcome, that you can think of: I estimated I saved $1900 on motel bills, during that summer vacation.



Now write your story.
