So, I have been dreaming up this art project for awhile, and finally I think I've decided how it's going to go. It will be a book, with different chapters of the same sentence over and over again. Well, the beginning of each sentence will be the same, but each one will be completed by a different person, so the ending will be different. They can be serious or silly, happy or sad, honest or completely made up! And they will be
handwritten, because I love how everyone has such different writing form. It is probably one of my favorite things ever, actually.
Here are the sentences I have so far (if you think of one you think might be good, post it in a comment):
- The first thing I do each morning is...
- The last thing I do before I go to sleep is...
- I keep finding myself thinking about...
- Today, my joy looks like...
- Today, my sorrow looks like...
- My greatest power is my ability to...
I really want to get lots of different people's writing. If you are interested in participating, please send me an email at wild-dot-tomatoes-at-gmail-dot-com or my other email address, if you know that one.

I'm kind of embarrassed about that first one...
Don't be. I liked it. I'll mail you some from me...if you'd like. :)
I know it's cliche, but! I think "When I grow up, " should be a prompt. I'm old...and still think "when I grow up, I'll...."
Of course I'd like you to!
How about these sentences:
What makes me laugh is....
I mostly dream of...
I don't like....
I want to...
If it rains then...
How do you...
Conditional, on having my brain invaded by Martians then....
Either find a decent home or....
All technological advances have been met therefore....
Suppose we are all happy then...
I have billions in cash, I will...
I was snubbed today, I feel...
I'm reading....
Ok, some of them are silly. Hope they help, though.
That first one is suspiciously similar to my first one, as well as what my "last thing I do before I go to bed" one would look like. And as for additional sentence beginnings, I like, "Home is..."
KB, have you picked which ones to do besides your 1st 6?
I think also "If I had a million dollars" and "Home is"
Thanks for the suggestions, guys!
What a great idea!
