Joining the Circus



"I write because I want more than one life; I insist on a wider selection. When my characters join the circus, I'm joining the circus."  - Anne Tyler



What does it mean to join the circus?

Choose a circus member, take on the persona as your own and fly with it. Are you an elephant trainer? Or the lady who rides the white horse with a feather in his bridle? Would you like to become a fortune teller for a day? Could you tame the lions? How about swinging from the trapeze?

Delve into your imagination, let your writing flow and see where it leads.
