I took a writing class that had me write a story from the perspective of an inanimate object. I wrote mine as a pill bottle that watched its owner become addicted to the pills inside it. People wrote about water bottles, curtains, coins... there's so much potential. We discussed "umwelt" and what your subjects' "senses" would realistically be like. Good Luck!

I’m making a zine about it
Waterfalls Sunsets Kung fu masters Flamenco Disgusting and rude people People who write songs with complex structures Stories of how people met Faces, what they show and what they hide Light and color The present, what we're living now Infinity, spatially and temporally Surrealism Space Time Violence Sects The human mind, mental disorders Women Stars, the infinitely big, the infinitely small, but it's scary Animals Very big books That I could never read them all Mythology, where it came from, how it started, the fact that it was passed down orally The sea, the ocean Murder stories The maritime world, its shapes, fishing nets Coincidences Mathematical probabilities Philosophy Reflections Felines Laws of physics Love and human relationships Hands Thoughts Dreams Group effects, crowds Fire

i was a voracious reader and a bit of a loner so this was a logical progression. it was a form of escapism for me and i loved inventing new worlds. i unfortunately began to hide my writings when my mom stumbled upon one i wrote from the perspective of a medieval peasant living in the midst of a plague and it scared her into thinking i was deeply troubled for a while. she still brings it up to this day. but i kept it up for years. i still have bits stories that i started in even in college that will likely never see the light of day but i look back at all of it fondly and still love to write today even if nothing came of it :)

Sometimes in my mind I call myself a writer. And i ramble on for hours in notes all alone. I write and write like im pouring my soul into a cup for the worlds consumption. But after hours of writing i realise its just me sitting at the table sipping wistfully at that cup i thought i was pouring for others. And so it happens again and again and i write in ways that make me feel mighty and profound but in reality that might just be from the toxins my body creates in the process of constant regurgitation and consumption. So yes to put it plainly i would love to be part of this. I want to try share my cup and for people to either reject it or consume it. Even if no one drinks it at least there will be other people at the table beside me.

This is interesting if you're into global politics; it's a daily email with fairly unbiased reports on things happening all over the world. It's a nice way to hear news on things that don't have to do with America, and it's free.
