Repetition
I invite you to consider repetition. What happens when we do something over and over, perhaps obsessively? What can accrete or build? Or what can be pushed to the point of exhaustion and collapse so that something else may suddenly appear?
Choose something to do a certain number of times and write about it.
Here are some ideas:
- view a photograph every day and write about it
- listen to the same song and write about it
- recall a specific memory
- make a list of mistakes
- write about your body
- write and rewrite your bio over and over and over
- write a letter to someone you have strong feelings for, repeatedly
The thing you choose to do can be anything, really. The project grows through repetition, not necessarily due to the thing you've chosen to do.
You'll need parameters: set them (number of times, how often, that kind of thing), then follow them.
