When I took these, I was intending to post them along with what I write for my next assignment from "writing the shadow" class. We're supposed to describe ourselves in third person as if we were a character in a book. I thought, "oh, this'll be fun and relatively straightforward" but...it's not. I'm only a few paragraphs in and running out of steam.
Truth be told it's been a very busy day and last night didn't offer much in the way of sleep. Getting started, putting a hundred words down on the page...that's a good for now.
Funny, thing is, I've been mulling the assignment over in my head since yesterday when we got it (honestly, that contributed to my sleeplessness!). The prospective content seems to fill my head in waves, first going in one direction, then another, thinking about a physical description, or a description of what I do, or a description of how I feel. I'm not sure how I'm going to pull it all together in a understandable way. But I will...I have confidence in that.
It's so much easier just to make pictures...for me anyway. But I love the fact that I'm making myself go in the direction of writing (in a setting in which I'm accountable to someone else), because it feels like a profound, expansive move.
