DOTW Writing Lesson
Exercises to get you scribin'!
Day One: Monday
"Monday, Monday. Can't trust that day."
Pick up your pencil (or poise your hands over your keyboard) and give me 200 words about why, exactly, Monday is not to be trusted.
Day Two: Tuesday
"Tuesday's child is full of grace." Were you born on a Tuesday? Is Tuesday your first name? Is Tuesday Weld especially graceful? Are you? Discuss (by yourself) in 300 words or more.
Day Three: Wednesday
The day of Woden. Give me a 200-word dissertation on The Addams Family, particularly the 1964-1966 sitcom and subsequent movie adaptations. Who was the best Wednesday: Lisa Loring, Christina Ricci or one of the others? (Seven different actresses have portrayed Wednesday on the big and small screens.)
Day Four: Thursday
Throwback Thursday. Exactly: Throw back Thursday, all the way to whence it came. It's not Hump Day. It's not the day before the weekend. There's no reason to thank God for it; it's pointless. However, there is a 1998 movie by the same name, staring Aaron Eckhart, and chances are you've never seen it. Scribble me up a pro/con argument about Netflix on disk. Still relevant? Because as things stand, I don't think you can stream the movie "Thursday" or find it on TCM. Use however many words you want, I don't care.
On second thought, forget the above. This movie, despite earning 7.2 stars on imdb.com, is not available through Netflix in any form. New assignment: Write, in 3 to 150 words, your reasons Netflix should remedy this sad situation,
Day Five: Friday
Black Friday: Boycott or participate? In Haiku, please.
Day Six: Saturday
Compose a short story about one Saturday in the life of an 87-year-old woman. Make it, oh, say, 1,000 words or more.
Day Seven: Sunday
Sunday is a day of rest. You're welcome.
