Disney word crawl

I love Disney so, so much! I Hope that you enjoy this word crawl as much as I do! 1 2 3 Write! 

You're on vacation, and you absolutely aren't leaving the house. Nothing anyone can do can make you. With no plans to leave the house, you decide to finally do it. You're going to watch all of the Disney animated movies in the order of their eras, in the order they came out. It's a lot of Disney to watch in one sitting, but you don't care! Write for 5 minutes to get started.

The first era of Disney animation is known as the Golden Age. Sprint for 10 minutes as you prepare yourself for the first five films from 1937-1942.

Starting off your binge is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It's no wonder that this movie won an Academy Award. The animation in this is just spectacular. That scary forest? The details in the cottage?What's not to love? Well, the Queen certainly didn't love Snow White. She ordered for the girl's death for the sake of vanity. Word war for 5 minutes.

Before you know it, you're off to the second film – Pinnochio. A marionette comes alive and wants to be a real boy, but he has so much to prove that it's almost too difficult. And how crazy is that scene when they're inside the whale? Write 200 words.

Don't mistake this next movie for it's 2000 remake! Fantasia is the third film of the Golden Age, premiering in 1940. Mickey Mouse is heavily featured in this one, his first time starring in a major Disney movie. Did you know that this is one of the first Disney movies that combined live action with animation? One thing is certain – the quality of the music performed is amazing. Flip a coin on random.org:

• Heads – Write for 20 minutes.
• Tails – Do a fifty-headed hydra.

Oh, Dumbo. Who doesn't just love that adorable elephant? He didn't deserve the torment he received from having those ears. Dumbo also serves as a reminder that having fame doesn't automatically make you happy, as evidenced by how miserable he is when he becomes a clown. Poor little guy. At least he proves everyone wrong when his true talent – flying – is revealed. Write for the duration of the video of the Pink Elephant song. Was this movie always so trippy?

Bambi. Why does this one have to exist? We all know why this movie is so difficult to watch. Who wasn't deeply affected by what happens to Bambi's mother? Generate a number between 150 and 400 and write that many words as you wipe the tears from your eyes. No matter how old you get, that scene never gets any easier to digest.

And there you have it! More than seven hours have passed since you started watching. Break for 10 minutes to finally stretch those legs.

Six films lie ahead in the Wartime Era, which spanned from 1943 to 1949. Write 60 words.

The first film from this era, Saludos Amigos, was commissioned by the US Department of State. This was a part of a Disney goodwill tour of South America. Mickey Mouse was very popular, and they actually used this movie to counteract South American ties to Nazi Germany. The things you learn throughout the years! Sprint to the next thousand.

The Three Caballeros was another movie that combined live action and animation. Like the previous movie, this one has various segments, a not-so-difficult plot to follow, and a few new characters only seen in these films. The premise is that it's Donald Duck's birthday, and he gets presents from his friends in Latin America. That's a quality concept that you can get behind! Roll a die, multiply by 25, and write that many words.

Another segment film, Make Mine Music is one of Disney's war propaganda films. Surprised? Probably not, as that does seem to be the theme of this era. Do a Three Digit Challenge.

Fun and Fancy Free is next, and it strays from the segment film format. Instead, this follows two different stories and is yet another example of a mixture of live action and animation. Jiminy Cricket is a key character in the first portion, Bongo, while Mickey Mouse and his friends all star in Mickey and the Beanstalk. Write for 15 minutes. Are you having fun? Do you feel fancy or free?

The first time Melody Time hit theaters, it was a flop. Described as the pop version of Fantasia, it had a $1.5 million budget, but only made $1.8 million. Oh well. Disney can't win them all! Write 500 words.

The last movie of the Wartime Era is The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. This models the same format used in Fun and Fancy Free, featuring two stories. This movie went on to win Disney a Golden Globe in color cinematography. Do the Carrot and Stick challenge.

Despite having one more movie than the last era, a little over six hours have since elapsed. Take a 5 minute break.

More princesses are on the horizon, as we're now entering the Silver Age of Disney, spanning from 1950 to 1959. Eight movies are a part of this era, so write 800 words to prepare.

Cinderella is a beautifully created movie with an extremely tragic heroine. Most of the princesses have heartbreaking stories, but who doesn't cringe when Lady Tremaine sticks the stepsisters on Cinderella, when they tear up her dress? If it weren't for her mice friends, Cinderella truly would have been alone in the world. Roll a die.

• 1 or 3: Write 300 words.
• 2 or 5: Word war for 20 minutes.
• 4 or 6: Do a song sprint to a song of your choosing.

Another wacky Disney movie is Alice in Wonderland, and it's not just because the author of the book it's based on was rumored to be on drugs when he wrote it. Like the Pink Elephant part of Dumbo, this is a truly trippy, truly crazy movie. Sprint to the next 500 as you digest all the characters and situations Alice goes through after falling down the rabbit hole.

There's obviously a bit of controversy surrounding the next movie in this day and age. Peter Pan's portrayal of Native Americans definitely goes against politically correct culture. Fast forward through this cringe-worthy part, and write 200 words as fast as you can.

Animals, specifically dogs, take a front seat in Lady and the Tramp. The most iconic scene from this movie is the restaurant part. Try to resist the urge to tear up while these two lovable pooches have a great first date. Write 300 words

True love's kiss being the cure for what ails people is a recurring theme in Disney movies, most specifically in Sleeping Beauty. This cartoon version certainly glosses over the darker parts of the Grimm Brothers' story. Thankfully so, too, as it truly would have stolen the innocence of many of us had we known what some of the missing details are. Write 1,000 words in 30 minutes as you try to forget what you may now know.

Dogs take center stage once again in One Hundred and One Dalmations. From Pongo and Perdy to the crazy Cruella De Vil, there is a lot to love about this movie. The challenge for this movie should be easy – write 101 words!

The Sword in the Stone is a play on the Knights of the Round Table story. It begins with a young Arthur, who must vie with other people in England in an attempt to become the King of England. Oh, did I mention that Merlin himself is also a character? Write for 20 minutes.

• If you get less than 500 words, sprint for 5 minutes.
• If you get more than 500 words, rest for 10 minutes.

The Jungle Book is the last movie in this era. Once more, animals are brought out to be the stars, even if the main character is a human. How fitting that he would be one who can speak with these animals! Flip a coin.

• Heads: Song war to I Wanna Be Like You.
• Tails: Song war to Bare Necessities.

Ten more hours have passed! When was the last time you ate a vegetable or went to the bathroom? Break for 20 minutes.

We now enter The Bronze Age, which lasted from 1960 all the way to 1988. That's a difference of 28 years. Write 280 words.

Cats take center stage in the first movie from this era, The Aristocats. Duchess was always such an amazing mother to those kittens. And who didn't love the positive portrayal of Madame Adelaide, an old, unmarried woman who loves cats? She isn't insane; she's just rich and wants to provide for her beloved pets. If only Edgar wasn't the world's most greediest butler, trying to get rid of the animals so he can inherit a fortune. Write 500 words as Thomas O'Malley helps get the kittens back home. Don't forget to do your scales and arpeggios!

Everyone knows the story of Robin Hood. He robbed from the rich to give to the poor. Is this the right thing to portray to kids? Well, that's for a parent to decide. After so many hours watching movies, you're in no position to make decisions for other people. Pick a character and do that challenge.

• Robin Hood: Write 1% of your word count.
• Maid Marien: Write 200 words.
• Little John: Word war for 30 minutes.
• Friar Tuck: Do 5 song sprints.
• Prince John: Sprint for 10 minutes.

Time for the movie about everyone's favorite willy nilly silly old bear. That's right, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. Did you know that this is technically another example of segment film? The stories in this were all previously released featurettes that were merged together with extra footage with a fourth feature added to bring everything together. Who knew? Write 100 words.

Older Disney movies have a habit of casting the same people in their films. The man who played Baloo in The Jungle Book also voiced the role of Little John in Robin Hood and Thomas O'Malley in The Aristocats. Our next Silver Age movie, The Rescuers, recasts Eva Gabor, who previously voiced Duchess in The Aristocats, as Miss Bianca. You're learning so much Disney trivia during your binge that you don't even know what to do with yourself. Write 600 words, one hundred words for every word in rescue. After all, what would the world be without the Rescue Aid Society?

If it wasn't for The Fox and the Hound, Disney World in Orlando, Floria wouldn't have such a famous ride as Splash Mountain, which takes riders through the story. Write for the duration of this view from the ride.

The Black Cauldron is a rather different kind of movie, you're now noticing. Given all the movies you've watched so far, you can't help but notice how much darker this one is. The movie is based not on a Grimm fairytale, but on the first two novels of a series based on Welsh mythology. The series it's based on has five books, so write 500 words.

The Great Mouse Detective tries to bring a mouse that isn't Mickey into the spotlight. And it certainly succeeded, as it made back the money spent on it, and then some! The folks at Disney must have been pleased, as it pulled in more money than The Black Cauldron. None of these money things matter to you, though. Not when you're 25 movies deep on this crawl! Write 250 words as fast as you can.

• Write it in less than 10 minutes: Write 100 more words.
• Write it in more than 10 minutes: Write 200 more words.

Inspired by a Charles Dickens novel, Oliver & Company is Disney's musical buddy comedy. The movie stars Billy Joel, one of the most famous singers of the the 1980s. Some might even say he is the epitome of the 80s. Write 80 words, then 160 words, then 240 words.

Another eleven hours have passed by you. How are you even still functioning? Take a 20 minute break.

Welcome to the Renaissance! The Disney Renaissance, that is. The ten films that came during the period between 1989 and 1999 brought us lovable princesses, exceptional songs, and hit after hit. Write 100 words, 10 for each movie.

The Little Mermaid is the first you're watching from this era, so right off the bat you're off to a great start. Pick two songs and do the tasks associated with them.

• Daughters of Triton: Write 700 words.
• Part Of Your World: Sprint for 10 minutes.
• Under the Sea: Sprint the duration of the song.
• Poor Unfortunate Souls: Write 200 words in 5 minutes. If you fail, sprint to the next thousand.
• Kiss The Girl: Write 500 words.

The Rescuers Down Under, while a solid sequel, is the worst performing movie of the Renaissance period. The movie came out on November 16, 1990. When you add up the digits from this date, you get 28. Write 280 words as you try to figure out what went wrong with this film.

Disney was back on top with the release of Beauty and the Beast. This gave us such memorable characters as Lumiere and Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts and Chip, and who can forget Beast? He really needs to work on those anger problems. Word war for 10 minutes, and hope that the last petal doesn't fall from the rose!

There are two types of fans of the next movie, Aladdin: people who like it, and people who only like it for Robin Williams. It's true that his genie is legendary. Have you ever read about all the problems between Williams and Disney, though? You should one day. It's a fun feud to read about. As the movie made over $504 million at the box office, write 504 words. Time yourself!

• In 10 minutes or less: Genie grants you one wish. Do any sort of writing challenge you want.
• In 11 to 20 minutes: Genie is unsure, but he still grants you a wish. Word war for 15 minutes.
• Over 20 minutes: Genie won't grant you a wish. Sprint to the next 500.

The time has come. It's finally time to watch one of the greatest Disney movies ever made – The Lion King. Try not to cry during that scene. Oh, you know the one. Write 120 words, 10 for every letter in Hakuna Matata. Don't worry about how long it takes you to do it. Don't worry about anything. Apply that problem-free philosophy to your own life.

Pocahantas is a Disney film that's actually based on a real person, not on a fairy tale. Granted, artistic license was greatly used when portraying her life, but isn't that the case for many movies made about famous people? The movie is set in 1607, so write 1607 words.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame did well at the box office. By now, though, you've begun to not really care about those statistics. You've watched so many movies, and you're barely awake. The film is set in France. You start fantasizing about a European vacation. Where do you want to go? Click here to generate a random country. Refresh until you have a European one, then write 10 words for every letter in that country's name.

Switching things up to something mythical is Hercules, a film based on Greek mythology. Despite this being a Greek story, Hercules is actually this god's Roman name; his Greek name is Heracles. Who knew? Roll a die.

• Even number: Look at the number of people online on the NaNoWriMo website and write the last three digits of that number.
• Odd number: Generate a number between 200 and 500 and write that many words.

Mulan is another Disney Renaissance film that is based on an amazing woman. Again, artistic license is used, but the premise is true. Mulan was a Chinese woman who went to war in place of her father. She brought honor to her family by helping to defeat the Huns. Do a song sprint to I'll Make A Man Out Of You, one of the most popular Disney songs ever.

With Tarzan coming after such a great movie like Mulan, some might feel a bit disappointed. While it is still a quality film, you can certainly tell that the Renaissance period is drawing to a close. Sprint for 5 minutes.

15 more hours have elapsed. What day is it? Where are you? Rest for 30 minutes because things are about to get weird.

Now that we're in the new millennium, the period between 2000 and 2009 is known as the Post Renaissance Era. Eleven whole movies fall in this category. By now, I know. You must be very tired. But a Disney movie marathon knows no bounds! You have to keep going. Write 100 words.

Fantasia 2000 is the remake no one asked for and yet we got it anyway. With new music and new stories, though, this is decent enough. With 8 different segments to it, write 80 words.

Disney's first computer-animated movie, Dinosaur, is up next. This movie follows a group of dinosaurs trying to survive. It's an extremely intense movie, as some of the dinosaurs are frightening for young children. After so much regular animation, this computer change up is most welcome. Pick a dinosaur.

• Carnotaurus: Do a fifty-headed hydra.
• Parasaurolophus: Write 300 words.
• Iguanodon: Write 1,000 words in 30 minutes.
• Pteranodon: Carrot and Stick challenge.
• Velociraptor: Do a Three Digit Challenge.

Who doesn't love the next film, The Emperor's New Groove? The characters are memorable, it's a return back to 2-D animation, and the story is hilarious. Running at 78 minutes, write 78 words as you watch this comedy unfold.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire is when things really start to get strange. In this movie, eight explorers with eight very different personalities search for the fabled lost city. Be careful not to drink the nitroglycerin! Write 800 words.

Lilo & Stitch is one of the most successful, most popular movies to come from this animation era. Stitch became a phenomenon! Disney even began to edit him into other Disney films as an ad for the movie. Sprint for the duration of each video. 1 2 3 4

Treasure Planet ended up being a box office disappointment. Trying to model the slight success of Atlantis, Disney failed. They ended up loosing $31 million! That's a lot of dough. Sprint for 31 minutes as you cringe your way through this.

By the time Brother Bear came out, Disney animation was basically doing whatever it was that they wanted to do. Rotten Tomatoes gives this movie a rating of 38%, just to give you an idea of what you're dealing with. Write 380 words.

Disney's Home on the Range is billed as an animated musical western comedy. That's a lot going on for just 76 minutes of airtime. This was not the hit Disney was looking for. Movies in this era hadn't done nearly as well as movies from the Renaissance. With names like Roseanne Barr, Dame Judi Dench, and Cuba Gooding, Jr., surely they had higher hopes for this movie. Write 400 words.

Things are still weird, but Chicken Little proved to be a small hit amongst a few years of slumps. Everyone knows this story, a play on The Boy Who Cried Wolf, so how exactly it warranted 81 minutes of film is something you don't understand. You're really getting tired of watching movies. Time for an impromptu, mid-era 10 minute break.

Meet the Robinsons came next. Disney stepped their game up for this one. There were talks of a sequel to this film, that's how good it was. However, when John Lasseter became chief creative officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios, he canceled this sequel, as well as sequels to Chicken Little and The Aristocats. Thanks, John Lasseter. Write for 5 uneventful minutes.

Dogs have always been popular characters in Disney films, so it's no wonder that Bolt did so well in theaters. Who would think to pair John Travolta and Miley Cyrus in a movie? Only the people at Disney. Write 160 words, the amount of profit (in millions) this movie brought in.

Take another 10 minute break. You're on the home stretch now, and you don't even know how much time has passed.

We're now in the final era, the Revival Era. This began in 2010 and is happening right now! Holy cow. That's exciting. No challenge now, let's just go.

The Princess and the Frog did so much better than most of the movies from the previous era. Not to mention that this is the first Disney movie where the main characters are people of color. Disney finally caught up with the times... in 2010. Write 270 words.

Continuing with the hits came Tangled. Disney is certainly on a high with these amazing movies. Based on the story of Rapunzel, catchy songs and memorable characters like Mother Gothel make this such an unforgettable movie. Word war for 5 minutes.

Winnie the Pooh, released in 2011, was one of the last movies to feature the classic 2-D animation that the company was known for producing. This was a low budget movie and didn't earn too much more. It seems as though Disney was simply putting a movie out just to put it out, but that's their prerogative. Generate a random number between 100 and 200, and write that many words.

Brave deviates from the norm set by most Disney princesses. Merida does not want to get married. Her only ambitions are to live a relatively normal life. All the power to her! Who doesn't love a girl who knows what she wants? Set your own goal, just as Merida would do her own thing.

Who knew that one of the highlights of this era would be a movie about video game characters? People just can't get enough of Wreck-It Ralph. Who didn't find it heartbreaking when Ralph confessed to not wanting to be the bad guy? Wipe those eyes and write 500 words.

Frozen proved to be the best movie Disney ever decided to make, as it's proved to be such a financial success. Children can't get enough of it! The challenge to this movie has to be an obvious one – Sprint the duration of Let It Go.

Any movie coming after such a big hit as Frozen has big britches to fill. Big Hero 6 did not bring in over a billion dollars like its predecessor, but it did hold its own and turned out to be fairly popular. People fell in love with Baymax, a health care robot. Write 600 words, 100 for every letter in Baymax's name.

Finally, the last movie is here! Zootopia capitalized on something that's always been a big hit with Disney – animals as characters. There's just something about talking animals that people adore. Financially, this movie did almost as well as Frozen. To have two huge hits in one era, so close together? Disney sure was lucky. For every thousand words you've written during this crawl, write 10 words.

Once upon a time word crawl

Here is a Once upon a time word crawl! 1 2 3 write!

It’s 8:15 as you roll into Storybrooke. This town is like Hotel California, the orange painted townline tells you that you can enter, but you can’t leave. You park in Main Street behind a very familiar looking yellow bug.


While thinking through options for accommodation, you do a 15 minute word war.

- If you write less than 400 words, then there’s no choice but to get comfortable in your car. That’s alright, some people only have a car.

- If you write between 400 and 600 words, then you get a room at Granny’s. Beware her wolf-like hearing when typing late at night.

- If you write more than 600 words, then congratulations you’re favorite character is at the window, offering you a bed in their spare room.


The next day, you start to investigate the town. There’s a new villain at work and you want to help the heroes defeat them. Unfortunately, heroics usually start with research so you head to the library to dig into the books. To get started, you take the Fifty Headed Hydrachallenge.


All that reading gave you a raging thirst, you decide to take a break and sprint to the nearest 1000.


It’s back to the library, to finish off the research - finish your current scene.


Finally success! The books reveal that the villain might be susceptible to a certain spell. However, it needs ingredients, so you head to Regina’s vault. On your way you do a quick 500 word sprint.


The vault is a complete mess. How does anybody find anything down here? You open a crate and shut it quickly seeing what looked like a two headed snake. This is going to take a while, so time for a 30 minute word war.

- If you are sleeping in your car, then you’ll find the ingredients if you write 800 words in the 30 minutes. If you don’t make it, then try again for 40 minutes. If you don’t make it again, then not to worry someone else finds the ingredients for you.

- If you are staying at Granny’s, then you’ll find the ingredients if you write 1000 words in the 30 minutes. If you don’t make it, then try again for 40 minutes. If you don’t make it again, then not to worry someone else finds the ingredients for you.

- If you are in the spare room, then you’ll find the ingredients if you write 1200 words in the 30 minutes. If you don’t make it, then try again for 40 minutes. If you don’t make it again, then not to worry someone else finds the ingredients for you.


The spell is all ready to go but the others aren’t here yet to cast it. Quick, roll a dice and write that many x100 words.


Finally the spell is cast and the villain is apprehended. So why aren’t things getting back to normal? This means only one thing - the bad guy wasn’t working alone. The spell on the townline is still as strong as ever. It’s going to take some serious thinking. Write 3% of your current wordcount while everyone is trying to puzzle it out.


You didn’t get much sleep last night, too busy thinking about who the second villain could be. However, you did have an idea, what if the second villain is in the book? You ask Henry if you can borrow his book to check. He says you can, if you do the 1k1hr challenge (1000 words in 1 hour).


There are so many stories in this book and they are all so interesting! You look over your shoulder, but nobody is watching you, so you find your favorite characters story to read first. It won’t take long to read it and then you’ll get back to villain research. Do the three digit challenge.


You read the story of the villain you just defeated but there is no mention of any shadowy partners so it must be a new teamup! That means you have to go back to the beginning of the book, and read every single story. You decide to do a word sprint to keep your mind sharp when reading.

- If you are sleeping in your car write 500 words.

- If you are staying at Granny’s write 1000 words.

- If you are in the spare room write 1500 words.


The book doesn’t reveal anything interesting, so there’s nothing for it. You have to head over to Gold’s pawnshop and ask Rumplestiltskin what he knows. However, it’s not just magic that comes with a price, information isn’t free either. For payment write until you’ve hit an amount equal to half your daily goal.


Rumplestiltskin didn’t know who you were looking for, but he gave you a tracking spell to find where they are hiding. You start to head there now, it’s almost most time for the big confrontation and you are a little nervous.

- If you are sleeping in your car, write to the nearest 500 word milestone (500, 1000 etc.)

- If you are staying at Granny’s, write to the nearest 1000 word milestone (1000, 2000 etc.)

- If you are in the spare room, write to the nearest 2000 word milestone (2000, 4000 etc.)


The second villain is defeated and true loves kiss is about to break the curse on the townline. You know you have to leave before the townline gets cursed again. However, even though this town is kinda crazy, it feels like home and you are going to miss everyone. To drag out your last day, write the amount of your daily goal.


The Leaving Storybrooke sign fades into the distance. You pull out a coin and flip it.

- Heads, you turn around and start the crawl again.

- Tails, you return to your life and leave Storybrooke behind.

Psych word crawl

Here is my favorite show Psych! if you haven't watched this you need to! :) 1 2 3 write!





Flashback to the eighties! Start warming up by writing 100 words while Henry teaches you an important lesson that will later come in handy. "Shawn," he says, "Sometimes enemies are where you least expect them."


Write to the song as we fast forward to present day!


The two of you are hanging out in the Psych offices, playing paper basketball while waiting for a case. Word war for 10 minutes while you try to score the most points.


Unfortunately, we'll never find out who wins, because a call comes in over the police scanner! There's been a murder! And, perhaps even worse, it's rush hour! Choose to either sprint for 15 minutes as you're stuck in traffic or flip a coin to speed on the way there.
Heads: You don't get caught! You only need to sprint for 5 minutes and arrive at the scene early, before it's covered in cops and forensics guys.
Tails: You get stuck with a ticket. Write 600 words to pay it off, and arrive last at the scene.






Juliet and Lassiter are on the case! For some reason, Lassie isn't all that pleased to see you. Wonder why for 50 words while Juliet, admitting they're stumped, talks him into giving you a few minutes on the case. Sprint for 10 minutes while you poke around the crime scene:
If you write less than 200 words, you don't get enough evidence and will have to break in later to reexamine the scene: do a Fifty-Headed Hydra to do it without getting caught! Then proceed to the next step.
If you write between 200 and 300 words, you have enough information, although you're not quite sure what to do with it: proceed to the next step.
If you write more than 300 words, you've almost got it! In the future, you can skip one task.






Write to the nearest 500 as you question a witness, a neighbor and friend of the victim. She reports that unfortunately, she didn't see anything, but she heard a knocking noise, a scream, a crunch, and what she describes as 'squishy' sounds. As you thank her for her... vivid descriptions, sprint until you've written three sound effects (fwoosh, ratta-tat, boom, etc.).


Do a Three-Digit Challenge as you mull over the information you have so far:


It's a classic locked-room mystery if ever there was one. Mrs. Jane Doe was killed by a blow to the back of the head by a blunt object, but the murder weapon is missing, eliminating the chance of it being an accident. All the doors and windows were locked from the inside, with no signs of forced entry on any of them. The angle is such that she couldn't have killed herself- besides, again, there's no weapon. Mrs. Doe's basement is flooded, a fact which Lassie complained about in endless detail, and her house is a mess. This case is downright impossible.


The next day, you return to the scene to look it over again. Somehow, it looks to be even messier... which is odd, as her neighbor explicitly described her as a neat freak. Remember your father's advice... and sprint to the nearest 1000 as you have your eureka moment!


All of a sudden, someone slams into your back and begins attacking you, which rather soils your moment of triumph. Word war for 20 minutes to fight him off and escape the house. By fight him off, of course, you mean that you knee him in the groin and book it for the door.Sprint for 5 minutes as you run to the police station to tell them what you've realized!


Write leisurely for 30 minutes as you lay out what happened, with a healthy side of dramatic over-exaggeration and the occasional psychic seizure, of course. Explain that the killer was in the house all along, hiding in the flooded basement after rightly assuming that the cops wouldn't search there. He'd locked the doors and windows himself to throw investigators off the scent and, after they'd left, treated the house like it was his own. Finish with a dramatic flourish by adding the story of how bravely you fought the killer off, and promise them that they'll find the murder weapon in the flooded basement and the killer's fingerprints on the trash scattered on the floor.

After the killer is apprehended and you and Gus have returned to the Psych offices, write to the end of the chapter as you finally finish your game of paper basketball.
