QuickWrite of the Day #42: Remember
"Writing can be used as a vehicle to express ourselves as we negotiate the journey through our lives” (Gallagher, 2011: p. 24)
Today’s QuickWrite of the Day:
Author Tad Williams once said:
"Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it--memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey."
With this in mind, think about the things --people, sights, sounds, smells, objects, small moments --that you would like to remember the most about this time. Jot down a list, then begin writing! You might want to write descriptively, or perhaps you would like to write a poem. See where it takes you and check out Joy Harjo’s poem ‘Remember’ below for inspiration.
