Module 1 Discussions - Risky Statements
The first problem every writer has to solve is the content
problem: What do I want to say? And believe it or not, civilization often gets
in the way of figuring that out. Our society requires that we control what we
say; every child learns that the first time he or she blurts out, "Aunt
Patty, you're so fat!" Such self-censoring is a necessary skill if we want
to preserve a cordial society, but too often we censor even our thoughts, so
that we stop ourselves from thinking beyond the acceptable parameters (whatever
we think those are). The creative process gets stifled.
We all need to understand that it's all right to allow ourselves
to think, imagine, speculate, and explore without censoring our ideas,
especially at the beginning of an assignment. The more ideas we have to begin
with, the better are our chances of coming up with a good one for the
assignment.
Choose any topic you'd like and, by the end of the second day of
the week, post a risky or challenging statement about that topic. You don't
have to worry about supporting your statement at all, so be outlandish; get out
there on the edge and fall over. The point here is to see how creative you can
let yourself be!
Be sure to check back later in the week
to read some of your classmates' statements.
