Basic Info BioThis journal is a project by Mary Shyne, currently a student at New York University and set to graduate in 2010.
The idea of this project is I take one person I've met through the day, whether glancingly or in-depth, and ficitionalize them. That is, I take my impression of them (not necessarily physical characteristics, but the feeling they gave me) and write a brief story about them, around 500-1000 words. This is not only an exercise in harvesting characters, but maintaining/improving my writing skill and learning about character development. It is also an exercise in expanding my compassion for daily encounters.
Feel free to add this journal as your friend. Unless I know you personally, it's unlikely I'll add you back.
