The story LINE

Choose one of the 4 themes below and write about YOU AND LINE (visually, auditorally, tactility, literary, relationally, socially, politically, territorially, physically, metaphysically, spiritually, etc”ly”)
  1. CROSSING THE LINE
    Choose one memory from your life that involves crossing a line
    and tells us that story. Post to your blog.
  2. STAYING IN LINE
    Choose one memory from your life that involves staying in line
    and tell us that story. Post to your blog.
  3. AN IMAGINARY LINE
    Write about an imaginary line you hold in your mind for some reason. Post to your blog.
  4. AN OBSERVED LINE
    From a photo you have shot of some type of line,
    write a story real or fabricated about this line and this photo
    and your relationship to it.
This is a short story, real or mostly real, serious or humorous, hard truth or slightly altered truth, mundane or wildly adventurous, safe or scary.

Consider writing it in a way that would not bore you (or me)—a children’s story, fable, fairytale, journal excerpt, song, poem, comic strip, sci-fi, end of world, storyboard, as a description a story embedded in a painting, newspaper article, news story, history book excerpt, letter, prayer, etc.

Don’t forget some degree of tension – whether taught or a balancing of tension, include it.

The theme is LINE and it should relate to YOU and your experiences or mental ponderings that already exist!

Story due Monday prior to 9 am—posted to blog
Story due Monday at 9:30 am—bring 6 printouts of post
