The Selfish Story Meme, REDUX
Sep. 30th, 2009 10:19 amRosewater - E.A.R.T.H.--- I want you to be thinking about important things, like how to live, holding your government responsible, [and becoming the kind of monster you truly are, deep down inside,] but I also to talk to you about stories.

thenowhere wrote the following: "Write something for me. Just for me. Post it in your journal so everyone else can see it, too. A sentence, a paragraph. Nanofiction. Short story. A scene, dialogue, a picture described, a moment, anything. Long or short. But it's got to be just for me. Tell the world you wrote it for me, even. Mine.

Write something for me, that encompasses the mood, the emotion, the feeling of Fall. Two necessary components: Fall and Me. A feeling of me, a thought about me, a way you see me, something you want from me. [As the woman, herself, said:] "Just for me... Mine.
"Then feel free to put this up in your own journal, and I'll reciprocate."
