A MOVIE, TAKE TWO
Watch a movie, start to finish. Pick a scene from that movie and rewrite it. Don't worry about proper script formatting. Just change the scene in a dramatic way.

Once you're done rewriting the scene, if you're feeling extra creative, use your phone or a fancy camera and reshoot the scene.

​Have fun, and we'll see you on Monday.

DEAR DIARY
Take the day to journal. Write about your frustrations, anger, and fear. Shift to thoughts of happiness and gratefulness and journal about that. Take a lunch break. Get some stuff done. Journal again. It doesn't matter about what exactly, just focus on working out issues you may be having that are posing as creativity blockers. Keep journaling until you feel better, have a home-cooked dinner, and get a good night's rest.

WRITE IT OUT
First: Congratulations. After you complete this workshop you will have finished your first week of #MAR2020. You're doing great. Keep up the good creative work!

Second: This activity in today's workshop can't be finished (properly) in one day. It requires a weekend extension.

Workshop Details: In honor of Juneteenth, write an editorial or blog post (word count is up to you) that addresses the question:

1. Am I a racist?
and/or (you can always write two)
2. How has racism impacted me?
The reason this assignment requires a weekend extension is because:

If you're answering the first question honestly, it takes time to reflect on internal thoughts and your past, present, and future words and actions. Reflect back on the entire course of your life, not just in the past few years. Think about your relationships with other people, be it family or friends. Consider your support of businesses and people. Don't lie to yourself. Consider all the subtle things and, of course, the not-so-subtle things. Be brutally honest, even if you're ashamed, didn't mean to, or didn't really think you were hurting anyone. 

If you've chosen to answer question two, you need the weekend extension because, if you're being honest, you need to go beyond the obvious. You must travel down a rabbit hole that can lead into scary and dark places. Even if it's painful, degrading, and scary, tell someone about it in this workshop.

Good luck, and may the Great Mother be with you. We'll see you Monday morning for another fun-filled day of creative possibilities.

HAND-WRITTEN WITH LOVE
Using the letterhead you made in Workshop 2, hand-write a letter to someone. Tell a loved one how much care about them, speak your mind to a legislator about a cause you care about, or just send a little note to a friend to make them smile.

If you're having trouble picking just one person to send a letter to, you can always write more than one.

Once you've written the letter, use your homemade envelope and mail that puppy. Afterwards, relax for the day and let your creative noodle recover. Or, work on your story from Workshop 1. The choice is yours.
