Today’s Take Action Prompt: Eavesdropping
By Sandra Lee Schubert | July 2, 2008
Eavesdropping: We hear snippets of conversation all the time. Cell phones have given us many opportunities to overhear the personal intimate details of perfect strangers. Don’t get mad. Get creative. Use some of the overheard conversations as the foundation for some juicy writing. Go take the mundane and make it brilliant with the stroke of your pen.
Record your own voice: Use a tape recorder, the computer, or a video camera and record some poetry or prose. Do you like how you sound? What don’t you like? Use your voice as an instrument, modulating it up and down. Try acting act different characters. Create a story out of the sound of your voice.
Listen: Just listen.
