Car Lust

_cokwr: So I wanted to submit a new visual assignment. All of us, most of us anyways, have a dream car. This is a simple assignment. Take a picture, or find a picture on the web of a car that you love. Then, write a description of how that car make you feel. That's it. Short and simple. This combines the visual of a car, with the story telling aspect, of how an object make you feel. , _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://blog.mg79mkiv.info/?p=239, _chk2m: MG79MKiV, _ciyn3: 123, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Un-scene stories

_cokwr: Each scene in a movie can be considered the middle point of a bigger story. Each character in a scene has been doing something prior to the scene, and will do something after the scene has finished. Pick a minor character from a scene in a movie or TV show and write a short account of what they were doing before they entered the scene or after the scene ended. Watch the scene and see if you can identify clues as to what the character was doing or what they are about to do. For example, in the famous cantina scene in Star Wars a character named Ponda Baba (Walrus Man) picks a fight with Luke Skywalker, and Obi Wan Kenobi slices off his arm with a lightsaber. What made Ponda Baba so angry that day that he picked a fight in a bar? How did he deal with his wounds afterwards?, _cpzh4: Fanfic, _chk2m: Colin Maxwell, _ciyn3: 14, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

I made tea.

_cokwr: We need to learn the value of stripping things down, removing the cruft, making more with less. Take a large body of text and reduce it continually until you’re left with something that still holds all its meaning but is much more succinct and approachable.
