Writing Poetry
Form and Structure
The Q&A, pg. 29
I really enjoyed this exercise, although I am finding it hard to utilize in my own writing. Self-edit has always been my stumbling block, and without anyone else to bounce this exercise off of, I find myself thinking too much of how I should answer and not letting my imagination run free. This seems like a wonderful exercise to loosen the mind, so to speak, and let the ideas pop out and expand, but even putting myself in the mind of someone else (a character of mine, or some celebrity) is proving difficult. I would love to do this in small groups in class, maybe when we get into prose. I have a feeling, though, that self-editing will be my downfall no matter what I'm writing. I'm such a slow writer!
