DAY 15 (June 26th, 2018)
SILHOUETTE (UNFINISHED)
An old woman knit a silhouette
from a patchwork of dreams and threadbare trances,
between wisps of moth-eaten memories on a park bench tottering
between clots of madness and enlightenment—
and walked into it.
Daily Word Count: 108
EXCERPT
“You shouldn’t always believe what you read or see in the news, Charlot. I’ll let you in on a secret. Sometimes we intentionally leak bad press just to keep our enemies on their toes.”
The 100 Day Project is a creativity excavation. It’s about unearthing dormant or unrealized creativity by committing to a daily practice everyday for 100 days.
Creativity is a skill. The more we practice, the more skilled we become. Practice takes time. Practice takes commitment. Practice is a radical act in this speeded up world. Through practice, we develop a creative habit. Through habit, we reconnect with and know ourselves again as a creative being.
I started this, my third, 100 Day Project on June 12th, 2018. My project is to write at least one first-draft stanza inspired by a poem, a quote, an idea, a painting—anything, really (or nothing at all) and to write at least one hundred shitty first-draft words of my novel. I’ll post the results here.
Enjoy!
