The Memoirist

Reading someone's descriptive intro of themselves a while ago I remember that they said they were a poet and a memoirist. Hmmm. How do they live? How do they earn money? Are they so successful with social media ad dollars (or something else?) that jobs are even a consideration?

Far be it for me to judge but seriously, doesn't it take a large swallow of solipsistic hubris to declare oneself a memoirist?

Oh, truthfully, everyone SHOULD be a memoirist and keep some kind of journal (says the man on volume 63 of his) but to announce it to the world? Maybe, yes! Good for her!

What do you think is IN those memoirs? Juicy stuff? Dramatic stuff? Profound stuff?

That's the topic of your scene: now improv it!

Scene Prompt: Time Sneaks Up On You

Improv Level: Advanced

Location: anywhere

Situation: Time travel has been unlocked without sending you the memo. Start any scene and at some point (in time!) everyone freezes, except for one person who then gently rearranges the scene, snaps their fingers (or rings a bell, because bells are nice!) and the scene resumes with the now altered time change.

Bonus Level: Include "easter egg" references to other time travel sources.

Poem Prompt: Who You Are

How it works:

Use the following quote in your poem anywhere:

Add more of you to who you are

and you'll be able to travel far

It could be at the beginning, in the middle, at the end -- anywhere that suits you. You could even repeat it as often as you like, it is entirely yours to play with.

Notes:

Yes, this is improv so let it flow and yes it is poetry because improv is more than acting and because this site is intended to be a full tilt creativity generator.

Optional part four: 

Resolve the fire.
