Preparing to write:
yuh come full circle!
Are you up for a writing challenge?
Experiment with the stream of
consciousness technique to write a
short story from the perspective of
1. a lesbian
2. an onlooker recording the action on a
cellphone
3. a person who just read a newspaper
article of the incident and is sitting in
Queen’s Park thinking about it
EXERCISE
Killin’ two birds wid one stone!
Remember the freewriting strategy we
used at the beginning? Not only is it
a fantastic way to get initial thoughts
down as a prewiting approach, it’s also
a really effective way to capture the
essence of the stream of consciousness
technique. Try it with this task!
