New Prompt 11/4 - The Write like Bob Challenge
I am an avid fan of our own Bob Church, and so today's challenge is to emulate his style. In order to understand his writing, here is an excellent article he wrote himself. Be sure to read the last two paragraphs. Then come back prepared to push the real world to its limits.
The assignment is to take a character and write a story, or if poetry is your forte, then a poem, and help the reader understand that character's dreams, or if you will, nightmares. Bring them to the fore of life, making us speak about the unspeakable and see the heretofore unseen...all this without writing a horror story...but by keeping it close to reality but dancing on the edge of eccentricity. If you've read Bob's writing, you know what I mean. Take your time; this isn't the kind of work you should grind out like meatballs.
Choose one of these three characters to write your story/poem on:
1. A librarian.
2. A grandfather on an outing with his grandson.
3. A politician giving a speech.
Good luck and good creativity!
