Veiled Truths
Exploring the Concealed Emotions of Deception
Maybe a lie is like makeup,
Like you put makeup on to cover your bare face,
You lie not to show how you really feel.
As your makeup gets heavier,
You get better at lying.
Since when was I embarrassed of my bare face?
Since when was I embarrassed of my true heart?
Yes, a true heart can be so lame, sad, and weak.
When your true heart gets rejected, it really hurts.

Cleaning The Freezer
Anne Bernays and Pamela Painter — What If? Writing Exercise for Fiction Writers prompts The Exercise — Make a list yourself of things that are done in small units of time. Here are several suggestions: Naming a pet or a child, breaking up with someone, playing a game such as Risk or Monopoly, washing a car, stealing something, waiting or standing in line for something, packing to go somewhere, cleaning the refrigerator, having a birthday party, etc. Now write a four-to-seven-page story staying within the confines of a particular time unit. For example, a birthday party story would probably last only a few hours, or an afternoon or evening; naming a pet might span a longer period of time but will still be focused on one activity. The Objective - To recognize the enormous number of shaped time units in our lives. These units can provide a natural substructure and shape for a story and make the writing of a story seem less daunting.
