This is my submission for this writing exercise: October Writing Perspective Challenge: Write From the Point of View of Candy Consumed For Halloween
As I write this we have yet another rainy day in Texas thus prompting this, will, prompt. Use fiction, memoir, poetry, etc to write this week about rain.
My September perspective writing exercise was to write from the point of view of a backpack. I offered extra points if they worked the phrase "he ain't heavy..." (from the song he ain't heavy, he's my brother) into it
Time for a new perspective exercise. We have done pieces before where you're asked to write from the perspective of different objects. I'll post links soon to past exercises where you wrote from the point of view of computers, phones, pumpkins, etc.
The rules here are pretty basic: I, or someone else, picks the topic. You write about it for 10 minutes and then must stop. The time must be spent writing, not editing.
Sometimes Stevie heard humans complaining about this and that but he had a true life story that surely had them beat. So he asked me, Scott, to help him write it down as part of this week's Writing Down the Bones exercise.
Time for another random words exercise. The words and instructions will follow
