Tuesday, September 16 - The Spoon's Perspective

Great writers are able to imagine themselves into any situation, into any character's mind.  It's important to not only create stories with characters like yourself, but it is equally important to create characters that do not resemble you in the slightest. These types of characters are sometimes even easier to write.  Regardless, the only way to write about someone other than yourself, is to be open-minded, to truly step into someone else's shoes, to imagine what his or her life might be like.  

Today, you'll get some practice with this...in a silly way.  Use vivid and appropriate word choice; remember you are stepping into "someone" else's perspective....  

Have fun with it.  Be absurd, be creative, be bold -- be in the moment.
