Write a List

CREATIVE CLOSENESS

Make a list of 10 things you could have done.

Pick one and write from the point of view of having done it. The things on this list can be serious or sad, lighthearted or fantastical. It's up to you.

For example: In 2009, I had plans to move to Amsterdam to be an au pair. I ended up falling in love and staying in California, but years later I started to imagine that a different Danielle who had moved to Amsterdam was still there. I began to exchange letters with her in the form of prose poems.
