Experiments in Writing #4: Monday, April 24th

Fantasy Exercise

Look around the room you are in until some particular object catches your attention. Then, imagine this object in some other setting, or some other situation, created by your imagination. Make the setting or situation in which you place or “see” the object as wild and as crazy a one as possible. Then, in one or two sentences only (but as long a sentence as you want to make it!) either describe this object in the new, fantastic situation, or explain what happens to it in the fantasy situation created by your imagination.

Go as fast as you can - and as fast as your imagination can - moving from one object in the room to another, until the time is up.
