Day 6

94: Life Story. Write a short first-person story of someone's entire life. Make the sentences islands of themselves, the scene of action, and detail. Don't worry about making "sense" from sentence to sentence (which is good advice for any kind of writing). But also don't forget that a reader has to follow a thread, a set of bread crumbs, a trial of broken branches, footprints, and crumpled candy wrappers. Focus on the details that reveal the personality and the changes in personality of the character. How do people change? Why do they change? Imagine a frame device that makes this kind of story possible - a guy in a bar; a grown woman magically transported back to third grade who is asked to tell what she did last summer, except she confuses this with what did you do with your life? 300 words.
