On the Street Where You Live














Memories and writing ideas arise from street names and landmarks experienced throughout your life. List street names from childhood, adolescence, early adulthood and where you live now.  Notice how writing the names brings memories to the surface.

After you collect the lists, make notes with additional ideas and imagery they evoke.  What scents do they bring to mind? Do sounds remind you of  their locations or translate to other scenes?





Creative Write:
  After you have collected sights, scents and sounds, visualize a situation that involves the streets you have collected.  Write a memory or current situation.
