"Whatcha Say"

Is there something you had trouble with or found hard to say to someone? 
Who was that person?
What did you want to tell them?
Pretend that you are telling a third party and summarize what you would like to say.
Continue the exercise by considering what would happen if you actually told the person involved. How would/did you feel afterward?

My day in proportions



Who do you spend the most time talking to? Is it homies, a staff member, friends, a boyfriend, girlfriend, television, parents? 
Make a list of who you actually talk to during the day and estimate the amount of time invested in each individual. Does the list reveal your priorities?  Does it represent what is important to you? 


After you make a list create a pie chart which divides and labels who you talk to.

The place to be

Imagine yourself in a place you like to be (not necessarily someplace you like to "go"). What do you like about it? What are the most intriguing/appealing aspects? In contrast, think of a place you do "not" like being. What makes you not like being there? 




Think how you can use this to develop ideas for writing.
