Friday Freewrite: My face
Get a mirror and look at your face; make faces at yourself for a couple of minutes. Alternatively, take a series of pictures of all the faces you love to make using the PhotoBooth program on your laptop.
Once you’ve spent a little time loving your face, write! Whatever comes to you—you can glance in the mirror or use the photos for reference if you need inspiration as you go.
Another idea for folks whose kids have DSIXLs — those handhelds have cameras in them — and, like cell phones, they allow the user to take self portraits (reverse pictures, as it were). Kids can take their own self portraits with the hand helds which they can then use for their writing assignment…
Just a thought.
