Alison was given a writer’s block for Christmas. It’s a gimmick - a 3 inch cube shaped book with pictures, suggestion and nudges from its author (Jason Rekulak) that will hopefully get yor mind working, and words flowing. For exampleTrace the journey of a five dollar bill through the lives of five different owners. What was exchanged during the transactions? How much (or how little) did the transaction mean to each of the people involved? Not so sure what Alison’s reaction to the book was, but, I like it! It gives me ideas and I will certainaly be trying some of the exercises out. Someone said that its important to simply write and its not all that important what you write. The good stuff will flow, ideas will come, but you need to move past the (proverbial) writers blocks on the way. |
Though I picked that example at random, it immediately reminded me of a film I watched - a real gem - called “Twenty Bucks“. The film traces the entire life of a $20 bill from the moment it comes out of an ATM through to finally being incinerated. It’s dated enough that you’ll see a bunch of today’s big names playing small parts, so keep an eye open for
