WEEK 11 CHALLENGE
TRUTHS AND UNTRUTHS
What do you wish were true? What truths do you wish you could undo?
Your challenge this week, dear writers, is to build a list of FIVE truths or things you wish were true—one each day. Each item could be written as poetry or prose; could be one word or one hundred; could be about global events, or happenings at home, or the physical properties of the universe.
Examples:
- Day 1: I wish it were true that 16 year olds could vote.
- Day 2: It’s true that I’m stronger than I think. Let me tell you why...
- Day 3: A poem about the truths revealed by climate change.
