Trolling for Truth


"A writer's knowledge of himself, realistic and unromantic, is like a store of energy on which he must draw for a lifetime."  
- Graham Greene

What are central questions to living as a human doing?

Consider:


Accomplishments
Life's misunderstandings
Moments with friends
Family feuds and fun
Self-sabotage
Tests of courage
Defeat and redemption
Pleasures expressed and thwarted
Chances taken

What aspect of your life has baffled you?  Which experiences won't digest and go away? How many treasured moments do you value? What do you know about yourself in a way that is realistic and unromantic?  Test these questions for meaning in writing.

Creative Write:  Write about turns in life's road: u-turns, left turns, right turns, dead ends, changing vehicles.Imagine driving a different vehicle and an alternate way to go.
