Get Unreal: A Writing Exercise
Are you a fiction writer? Do you struggle making your written word as real as possible? Does your story need to be realistic? Can this way of thinking squash your imagination? Part of the fun of writing a story is convincing your audience that the plot could happen within the framework of your book. Develop your Picasso within you! Are you a left-brain thinker or right brain person?
You might be surprised to find out that your brain just might be switched with the logic side on the right and the creative side on the left or perhaps wired differently another way (savants). Find out how your mind works. From Destruction To Creations: Destroyed trees in city park carved into beautiful works of art. Devastation from fierce storms prompts something beautiful to be created out of the destruction. Sometimes, bad things can be turned into something useful, even beautiful. Mourning the loss of these sacred trees was surely a dark time for Amboy Illinois residents, but it's what happened next—how the people chose to respond to the tragedy that makes my heart soar. It's an inspiring example of allowing the light of possibility to shine through the darkness of defeat. See also the tree sculptures that were created.
