#2: rinse and repeat

James Dalton Trumbo - Writing in the Tub

2.1 Revision: Ring around the ... tub, moon, collar...Rinse and repeat.

Locate a piece of writing that needs a shift: sitting on a plateau, unaware of edges or teetering on the edge, unaware of ground.  Gather some water soluble markers (washable markers); do not steal from children, rather, liberate the markers from their fists.  Write the text round and round and round the tub, bowl, vase [a basin of sorts].  As you fill the container with water, watch as the words morph, dissolve, shift, move, slide, disappear.  

The sloshing of water in belly in basin in moon - what does the gut say?  What lingers, remains?  What will the writing contain?  What will it not contain?  What should the container look like?  If there is a ring in the tub, what color is it?  

Write down the imprint: physical, emotional, cognitive --- process and processing. 

Feeling generous?!? If you are in the sharing mood, please, submit the writing generated from this exercise to Precipice-Collective for inclusion in our anthology - Precipice: Writing at the Edge.  In addition to critical essays and creative works, the anthology will include writing prompts, and hopefully, with your contributions, writing samples from our online community.
