Continuing on with the next chapter in Writing The Wave by Elizabeth Ayres
Storm-Tossed Seas
Chapter 6
Organize Your Ideas and Create an Outline
Apple Tree
set your timer for 20 minutes
1. Write. Write about anything. Just write. If you prefer play some music in the background and if you get stuck, you can write about the music.
In the book, there is a sketchy drawing of an apple tree with 8 apples drawn on it and six spaces below it
set your timer for 5 minutes
2. using the above concept, write 4 to 6 themes in the blank based on the writing in step one
Taking no more than 20 minutes-
3. Create a minimum of 4 apples (scenes or images that embody the idea) for each theme you have written down
No timer needed for these exercises, they should take no time at all
4. decide how many baskets you’re going to take to your orchard (3, 4 or 5) and write it down
5. find a corresponding number of blank pages in your ongoing notebook
6. number the pages at the top, using Roman numerals
This step should take no more than 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the number of apples you created
7. You’re going to now physically “pluck” your apples from the tree by rewriting them onto the “tagged baskets” from step 6
Again you don’t need to set your timer, but don’t take more than a couple of moments on each basket
8. Look at basket I
Basket I is now Roman numeral I of an outline. Decide if this is still the order that you want your “baskets” and make the appropriate changes
Now enjoy yourself and feel free to write in whatever form you please: poem, story, essay or even a play
9. Begin with basket I, apple I and work your way from apple to apple, basket to basket, until you have a new piece of writing that incorporates all the apples from first basket to last.
Chapter 6 is now completed!

Ok....
Answer me this...
I'll the mother of an 18 year old daughter and a 15 1/2 year old son; both who have portfolios on Writing. Up until just recently, I been very careful with the genre that I've been writing in. Then I entered a contest that I ventured very slighty into the erotic. A reader voiced his/her displeasure at this writing style for a mother.
What is YOUR opinion on this?
Should I have instead written this piece under another name so that my children didn't know it was me (if they read it)?
Or should I have not ventured into this genre at all?
Who do you think should or shouldn't write this "stuff"?
let me know... |
