S410 -Day #13
Starter for Ten - April 18th 2023
This morning at the train station a man shouted at me for exiting through the in door. The encounter left me wondering what made people shout at complete strangers. What he was thinking at that moment? I used this as inspiration for writing today.
Ten minutes of free writing.
While writing I made a choice not to describe the man and not because I thought the story didn’t need it but because of what you, the reader, might think about me. The man was fat, big time. Could I say that? Should I say that? What are you supposed to say? Should I care about what you are supposed to say?
It interested me that I chose to censor myself, this inspired the visual created with washi tape and sharpie.

Starter for Ten (S410) is a daily creative exercise that I will do for the next 30 days. I set a ten-minute timer and write whatever comes into my head. After that I do the same to create a visual. The idea is to loosen up, create daily and get over the idea that everything I make needs to be perfect or have a purpose.
I will document the process here on this site and on my Instagram stories. Photos will be unedited to keep it real. This challenge both terrifies and excites me, let’s see what happens.
