Emotionaneering Check In and Wickersham Prompt

rgurleygurl — 2024-06-08 16:28:48 UTC

In our last session, we discussed Emotioneering (writing the piece about fire) as well as read a piece by Wickerham with a challenge of using her style to write your own piece

How did your writing practice go?

Did you notice anything shifting in your writing due to upping your practice if you have?

Did you try imitating the Clifton piece? If so, do you want to share with the class?

Bonus Writing Prompt

2024-06-22 16:52:15 UTC

Every year, as seasons change, so do bodies.

Write a 6 section (100 words) brief history of your hands. You can apply all ofthis to your characters as well. Start from the youngest age you can remember and work your way up to the present.

Work hard on sensory details and making the strongest image/emotional intensity possible since you only have 100 words.
