Sorry for this being late I just had the worst weekend of my life. I usually do these Sunday night so every thing pretty much fell apart.
We have continued with our flash fiction exercises, in class we were placed in groups and each group worked with a story and analyzed it. Then we imitated the a paragraph of the story that intrigued us. I enjoy exercises like these, they have more substance to work with than a lot of the poetry we were reading. We also did an ink blot and came up with ten words the ink blot made us think. Mine looked like an ants head and a few other things so I went with the flow on that picture in my head and had a lot of fun with it. I also came up with a pretty fun short short for the short surprise assignment, spoofing Little Red Riding Hood. Rambo shows up and makes a mess of the wolf.
It really doesn't take terribly too much for me to get motivated or inspired when writing a short short. With the pace that my mind wanders aimlessly through the day, I pretty much can group two or three ideas together into a solid setting and overall storyline to build upon with a splash of brainstorming.
