Writing Exercise # 51
INGREDIENTS
1. Three objects that scare you.
2. A calming place or song.
3. A boring routine.
- - -
Write a letter to someone from inside another person's brain. Choose your brain wisely. Imagine the setting in a place like this. What's lying around (#1)? What is the soundtrack (#2)? What is in there that shouldn't be? What does it need more of? What is the constant inside this brain(#3)? What memories can you see in there, and where are they kept? Is anyone else in there? If so, what is he/she doing? Does anything grow in there? What is it upholstered with? How long have you been there? What will you do to get out?
