Next Week’s Assignment:
Let’s Reflect. Take the week to go back through your own writing. Any writing: polished pieces, certainly, but also journal entries, texts with friends, posts when you were in your favorite places, letters you wrote but never sent, reflections in the margins of books you loved, etc. Don’t limit yourself is all I’m saying.
Choose a line you wrote that really speaks to you and write it on the item you received.* It must fit on one side. Decorate the other side as you wish. Bonus points - include in your submission a brief reflection/explanation of your choice.
This is a snapshot of where you are and what speaks to you in this moment. Don’t let the choosing paralyze you. Let yourself be impressed with your own ability to articulate what resonates with you right now.
*Editor’s Note: The person who submitted this mission also was kind enough to deliver an object to each of our houses before posting the mission. This is the “item you received” referred to above.
Feel free to purchase a keychain like this, or use a similar object - the key here is the size - use something no bigger than one inch by two inches.
